cdrecord problem


I am using a Slackware 9.1 with 2.6.0 kernel.
I have an ASUS 48/16/48 cd-writer but it doesn't work in linux and I guess this is because of the kernel. There is some output from shell("cdrecord -scanbus" doesn't work):

Code:
 
root@localhost:~# lsmod 
Module                  Size  Used by 
ds                     10880  0 
yenta_socket           14528  0 
pcmcia_core            59200  2 ds,yenta_socket 
ide_scsi               12164  0 
via82cxxx_audio        26824  1 
ac97_codec             17152  1 via82cxxx_audio 
root@localhost:~# cdrecord -scanbus 
Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling 
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. 
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. 
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. 
root@localhost:~#
I have the ide_scsi module loaded but it doesn't work. What do I have to select in kernel in order to work?

Another "problem" is at start when I get an output like this:

Code:
 
Starting PCMCIA services: 
Linux Kernel Card Services 
  options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pm] 
  <Probing for PCIC: edit /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia> 
cardmgr[63]: no sockets found!
In my 2.4.22 kernel it doesn't show "no sockets found!", it finds something but I can't see what because the text is scrolling too fast. What do I have to change to make it work as good as the 2.4.22 kernel?

Thanks!

Do you have a line in the grub or lilo which enables sci emulation? This is used to allow write function of your cdrom.

hdc=ide-scsi

This is from a sample grub.conf....

title Red Hat Linux
root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-26.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-26.8.0.img


This is from a sample lilo.conf.....

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label=linux
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
read-only
append="hdc=ide-scsi root=LABEL=/"
