[linux-help] Re: cd burner

[Ben Bunck <bbunck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try typing (as root) 

insmod sg
cdrecord -scanbus

I don't know exactly under what circumstances one has to recompile the kernel 
to get ide-scsi emulation to work...I seem to remember NOT having to do that 
with the Mandrake 7.2 system I used to run...it asked me during install if I 
had any scsi devices, I said yes, and then I told it what modules I needed.  
For the RHL 6.2 system I'm using now, I ended up recompiling the kernel.  

Anyway, check out these two links if the above doesn't help.  The first 
contains some documents about using cdrecord...it should tell you what you 
may need to do to get linux to recognize your cd writer correctly.  The 
second is a step by step process to compiling the kernel, which I found very 
helpful for myself a few weeks ago:
