I have got woody installed and i upgraded the kernel to 2.4.22. I got problem with my IDE-cdrw(hdc) and IDE-dvd(hdd). I am trying to follow the steps from
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/tut...writer.html.en
could someone help, please?

Did you install a kernel-image or roll your own? If you rolled your own did you compile in support? Let's see your kernel version and the output of lsmod. Also, how about some error messages? How are you trying to burn & watch? What programs are you using?

i downloaded kernel 2.4.22 from www.kernel.org and then i configured it myself. it is not the first time that i am configuring a kernel, but it is the first time that i get errors like these. Could you tell me what i have to type so i can show you the outputs and possible errors? thanks

You can show the modules loaded with the command lsmod

> lsmod

Maybe attach your .config for the kernel too, or a link to it. Do you have an entry for the burner or dvd in /etc/fstab? What does

> ls -l /dev/dvd*

show?

How are you trying to burn? A good way to test is with the command:

> cdrecord -scanbus

I often go here: http://www.yo-linux.com/TUTORIALS/Li...ialCDBurn.html when I forget something...

HTH,

Thanks for the reply. The following is a copy of the console:
debian:~# lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted

debian:~# ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Nov 21 21:04 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdd

debian:~# cdrecord -scanbus

cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

The fstab is:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/dvd iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0


Any ideas?
