Having read around 100 posts on this list, I am still confused. I do understand that we don't want scsi-emulation any longer. So far so good.
I did change the link /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdb, consequentially. In order to have access to the drive, I also had to chgrp cdrom /dev/hdb. Now the drive is gentle to me: it can be mounted; an audio-CD can be played, and cdrecord -dev=ATAPI -scanbus gives the particulars. Two questions remain: 1. Some posters say that you need to add hdc=cdrom to your boot parameters. Is this correct ? Anything needed at all ? 2. xcdroast takes literally minutes to talk to me whenever I click one of those buttons to select a task, even though it shows the ATAPI-device correctly. How can it be convinced to work correctly; again ? Anything still wrong with my setup ? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
