Hi @ all

I have a problem with the cdrecord.
My DVD-ROM will not be displayed @ cdrecord -scanbus

I am a new in the linux world and so i do not know how i can fix this problem.
I am using RedHat 8.0

Thanks @ all who can help.

What bootloader do you use?
What do you have hooked where on your ide chain?

It's usually done by passing something to the kernel like:

hd<N>=ide-scsi

lilo

lilo.conf:

prompt
timeout=50
default=linux
boot=/dev/hda1
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
message=/boot/message
lba32

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=/"


hdc -> CD-Writer
hdd -> DVD

I think you just add another append statement.

append="hdd=ide-scsi"

Save and execute /sbin/lilo

Did you paste correctly? " should be after -scsi. The root statement should be a different line, I think. I have forgotten how to use lilo.

thx

now it works
