and when i try to mount likt cdrom,
it show this error,
[root@www root]# mount /mnt/cdrom/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
[root@www root]#
no, i don't think the reason is, that you are not root.
To use your IDE Writer you need some kind of scsi emulation,
so you possibly need to rebuild your kernel and load the particular modules.
there are many howto's on the web how to do this. google for cdwriting howto or similar.
i think you should just see if you can load the scsi-mod and ide-scsi modules before stepping into the kernel recompiling...if all you have to do is load the module, then that will save you a hell of alot of time. so do a search on this fourm for scsi emulation and find out what to do..and then if it is not compiled in your kernel, then thats what your going to have to do.
