I have been trying to get my CDRW work in vaio pcg-grx500

hi... it's been awhile since i've had cdrw problems, so forgive me if this was obviously not the case from your error message, but: have you disabled IDE CDROM support in the kernel, and enabled SCSI emulation support?

these two options should be right next to each other in ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL Support -> IDE, ATA, and ATAPI Block Devices -> ....

hth... cheers,
docman

I have enabled IDE CDROM support. I also have "hdc=ide-scsi" in grub.conf. I think there is some configuration problem. Help me out!

On my system I need generic scsi compiled in the kernel or loaded as a module for my burner to work as non-root. For some reason just scsi-ide and scsi-cd are needed for root.

What kernel are you running? I'm running gentoo-2.4.20-r2 which I believe has had some problems with parameters passed upon boot... (hdb=ide-scsi) as currently I am unable to have my DVD-CDRW show up under scsi... there's a bug report that's been enetered for it, search the forums for ide-scsi and it should pull up the thread... I'd post a link but I gotta run!

Cheers,

hm... from what I've heard that kernel shouldn't be affected...

take a look at these threads:
