prob with cd-burner

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with my cd-burner (liteon ltr 1210b).
Not that it just refuses to burn under mandy 9.1, during boot mandrake says once "new device cd-burner found" (or something like that) then "device cd-burner deleted" (or something like that). These two messages change everytime I boot the system up.
Anyone knows what to do?

Have you added a line of this type to /etc/lilo.conf ?

append="hdc=ide-scsi"

I have hdc which is secondary master
hdb is primary slave
hdd is secondary slave.

Once you have done this, type " lilo " in a console, as root, to effect the changes, then reboot.

Once rebooted, try " cdrecord -scanbus " as root to see if your drive is now detected as a writer.

You can also do that in GRUB (if you use GRUB to boot MDK) like this:

In the same line as your kernel settings are:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-9 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi

Here I have two optic devices which I use to read and burn (it acutally helps to have a second reader when doing on-the-fly copies) This line will force the kernel to use the SCSI emulation for ATAPI devices.
