Last time I checked (2.6.11), dev=ATAPI doesnt work, since its not related to a particular device node file, the kernel doesn't know whether you have write permissions to that device, so it denies write-related commands. As for which syntax is theoretically correct, thats the subject of an eternal discussion. The cdrecord author thinks ATAPI:x,y,z is correct, the kernel developers thing dev=/dev/cdrom is correct. But right now, you'll probably find that dev=/dev/cdrom is the only one that works when you actually come to writing. Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
