Hi all,

I installed Sony USB CD-wirter, I can mount it. Now I want to burn a cd, I following the CD writing HOW-TO,

I make a image fiel, and mount to m \y cd writer:

mkisofs -r -o qgu_image /home/qgu

mount -t iso9660 -o rw,loop qgu_image /mnt/cdrom1

Now I want to use cdrecord to burn cd, but when I use cdrecord -scanbus:[root@hera qgu]# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
[root@hera qgu]#

So I can not use
cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,6,0 -data cd_image

Because I can not find the scsi -bus, id, and lun.

By the way, do I ja\have to use scsi bus? Since my cd writer is USB cd writer.

Thank you very much.

You have to use scsi emulation recompile your kernel with scsi emulation there is a how to do it somewhere

Hi,

ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support ---> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices ---> SCSI emulation support

Nevermind I see you were root.

Hi, AutoBot, what you mean 'Nevermind I see you were root.'

Do you have any idea, please help me out.

Thank you very much,

Grace

ok
I think i know the problem

when lilo boots up
type linux or whatever then type

hdx=ide-scsi

x being the device letter

if it works for you add this to your /etc/lilo.conf

append "hdx=ide-scsi"

then run lilo

never mind if it is usb im not sure about usb writers
