Thanks for the tip.
I went there and read through it, and after recompiling my kernek about a
dozen times, I have to admit I'm stuck. Acording to the HOWTO, I should be
able to run "cdercord -scanbus" and see my CD recorder. I' can't for the
life of me make that work.
Part of the problem may be that this machine is set up a little strnagely.
hda -> CD Recorder
hdc -> CD
hde -> Boot hard disk
hdf -> hard disk
hdg -> hard disk
And a SCSI controler with a DLT tape driver conected to it.
I've added the generic SCSI, and ide-scsi subsytems, but still no luck.
Sugestions?
