heya!

I wan't to write some CDs... Everything is fine except that i don't know how to link my cd device (sony CD-RW - IDE, the ONLY cdrom device in my box) correctly. I followed the CD_writing_howto, but no luck. (it worked fine in my manualy configured slack box).

Need some tips 'n' tricks :wink:

Also try

Code:
cdrecord dev=ATAPI --scanbus


to see if your SCSI-emulation is not working. Since cdrtools version 2.0 you can now use ATAPI (IDE) burning without the need for SCSI-emulation.

This is great news. I was somewhat surprised at first when cdrecord was looking for
/dev/pg* because I had successfully used my old LiteOn CDRW for a long time but
now SCSI emulation doesn't seem to work.
Thanks for the information. However, cdrecord says that the libscg is still very pre
alpha and could lead to fatal errors so I guess the ATAPI support is still not exactly
as perfect as the SCSI emulation was.
