I'm running Debian Potato with kernel 2.2.15pre11 from Paul's rsync tree. I have an external SCSI Yamaha 8424S CD-RW whihc I use under xcdroast. I have all the right options (generic SCSI etc.) copiled in teh kernel, and have setuid xcdroast so it would run as non root.
When I run xcdroast as root, everything is fine. When I run it as non root, it runs fine too except I get the strange warning: ************************ No multiple host support You seem to have a system with more than one SCSI-host. In order to allow cdrecord to scan for your CD-writer, you should have the cdrecord Linux-SCSI-Kernel-Patch installed. Read the file src/utils/ cdrecord*/README.linux for details. When you have installed the patch, this warning will go away. ************************ There are two strage things about this warning: (a) It only occurs when running as non root. (b) I checked in the README.linux and in my kernel sources, and this patch has *long* been merged into the mainstream kernel sources! Has anyone else seen this warning? Any idea how I can get rid of it and what's causing it? Thanks, Renaud
