Hey folks,

I'm having a bit of a problem getting cdrecord (and dvdrecord) to see my
Pioneer DVD/CD rewriter. I have a networked RH 7.3 box which hosts our
DDS-3 tape drive (SCSI ID 2), and USB scanner. The funny thing is that we
have used the RW successfully in the past, so I can't work out what is
wrong.

Here is the output from cdrecord :-

sh-2.05a# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jrg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
Using libscg version 'schily-0.5'
scsibus0:

        0,1,0     1) 'HP      ' 'C1537A          ' 'L706' Removable Tape
        0,2,0     2) *

        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *

The DVD/CD-RW normally appears as 0,0,0 or 0,1,0.

The /etc/grub.conf file definitely contains the 'hdb=ide-scsi' parameter
for the kernel. I've attempted an upgrade of the kernel from 2.4.18-17.7
to 2.4.18-26.7 to no avail. Have also checked jumpers and tried the drive
on both Primary and Secondary IDE channels. The tape drive ID was shifted
in case of conflict.

The drive is definitely detected :-

sh-2.05a# dmesg |grep DVD
hdb: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-105, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdb: ATAPI 32X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2000kB Cache

The sg driver looks to be installed, from cdrecord output.

Can anybody offer some suggestions?

Many thanks,

Maccy
