[linux-help] Re: CD writer needs SCSI driver

[Jeff Vian <jvian10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you do  "cdrecord -scanbus" ( as recommended at thte end of this 
error message )  to verify all the correct modules are loaded and that 
cdrecord can see the device?

I find the generic scsi modules are not loaded until needed and the 
scanbus option caused it to load correctly. (once it is loaded it stays 
until you either unload it or reboot).
