how to support CD-RW with kernel 2.6.X?
 

i have a new cd-rw and my linux kernel is 2.6.5,i want to know which modules should be added into the kernel to supoport my cd-rw.
thanks very much.

this is something that is in the process of changing but the only way i know
is to use scsi emulation with a package called cdrtools
(this still works fine)
i use the boot parameter
hdc=ide-scsi
i don't put anything different in /etc/modprobe.conf
lsmod reads:
ide_scsi 17092 0
usb_storage 85612 0
scsi_mod 144820 2 ide_scsi,usb_storage

i'm not sure why usb storage gets in there ??
i am using it here
my usb section:
ehci_hcd 42464 0
uhci_hcd 39588 0
usbcore 122812 5 usb_storage,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

my proc/scsi/scsi
reads:
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-W552G Rev: Q4S2
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02

i have a symlink /dev/cdrom pointing to /dev/scd0

like i said earlier there is a new way to do this that does not involve scsi emulation
cdrtools is a set of unix/solaris tools that works on many many operating systems but i think
Linus thinks scsi emulation is ugly so doesn't provide the best interface and is now tring to
phase out the scsi interface altogether ?????
crdtools guy says he will phase out linux support..
i hope it's not just OS wars !!!!!!
a case of whoos joystick is bigger so to speak. :)
anyway i think fedora core 2 now does it the new way so perhaps someone will show how it's
to be done now.
