I've used linux for years including Debian Potato and Woody...just recently I've come back (Sarge) and I can't get the CD burners to set up the way I've always done it.
My standard aproach is "append hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf and then if that doesn't work I use the shell scripts in the CD-Writing HOWTO: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.1 This isn't working this time on this machine: Linux isis 2.4.24-1-k7 #1 Thu Feb 19 01:19:49 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux Here is lsmod output, followed by cdrecord -scanbus (as root).
