SCSI driver error caused by wodim - Ubuntu 8
 

# wodim –scanbus
Wodim: No such file or directory
Cannot open SCSI driver!
OS: Ubuntu 8.04
ODD: ATAPI DVD+-RW

I also tried “wodim dev=ATA –scanbus” but still got the same message.

I could only see such message on Ubuntu 8.04, and not on RHEL 5.1 (hardware configuration is the same).

Ubuntu 8.04
# cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: TSSTCorp Model: DVD+-RW TS-L632H Rev:D300
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05

RHEL 5.1
# cat /proc/ide/hdc/model
…CDROM Drive…

It seems that Ubuntu treats the ATAPI drive as a SCSI drive, while RHEL still treats it as a ATAPI drive.

Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks a lot in advance!
