Helo all!, after surfing the archives, I found the solution for my problem with the scsi emulation support in the message:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200203/msg03722.html from Gerard Robin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) However, instead of the "scsi generic support" enabled, as mentioned in this reference, I need only the "scsi cdrom support" enabled, as suggested before in this list. Besides this, note that the recipe above is for a system where both, cdrom and cdwriter should be recognized by xcdroast(or cdrecord), because of this the "ide-cdrom support" should be disabled too. Just for the records, and from the reference of Gerard above: for a sytem with ide cdrom and ide cdwriter to work with cdrecord (or xcdroast) you need: 1) the "scsi emulation support" and "scsi cdrom" support compiled into the kernel 2) the "ide-cdrom support" disabled 3) in /etc/lilo.conf add this line: append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" and don't forget to run /sbin/lilo 4) create the directory /cdrw 5) in /dev create the following symbolic links: ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrw 6) in /etc/fstab add the lines: /dev/cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrw iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 7) run cdrecord -scanbus to verify ... I want to thanks all the people who sent me emails with suggestions regarding my problem.
