Okay, what "and stuff"? And as modules or into the kernel? Let us know what you did with ide-cd, scsi, ide-scsi, sg, and sr. Before I go much further, you might want to take a look at: http://www.leewardfpga.com/cdrw.html > append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" Good so far. Exactly what happens depends on whether ide-scsi is a module or compiled into the kernel. Either one is okay, but we need to know which you have done. And most of the rest depends on that, also. > [root@localhost sbin]# cdrecord -scanbus > Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling > cdrecord: No such file or directory.

If you have compiled some of the pieces mentioned above as modules, then show us your /etc/modules.conf. If everything is in the kernel, then execute "dmesg", and post anything that looks like it might be related to disks or scsi. > note: The Howto says to access your device from the new scd0 if it was > say, hdd. During the boot process it identifies my drives as hdc and > hdd, but in /etc/fstab they are like this: The file /dev/cdrom is typically just a symbolic link. If you are not using ide-scsi, then it would point to /dev/hdc (or whatever). When you are using ide-scsi, you would change /dev/cdrom to point to (usually) /dev/scd0. Your second CD-ROM would normally be /dev/scd1, and you could make /dev/cdrom1 point to that. The output of dmesg will tell you for certain what device to use, for example: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw The "sr0" is the same as /dev/scd0 (if you look at /dev/sr0 and /dev/scd0, they should be the same). > Notice they are /dev/cdrom. do I have to change lilo to show > /dev/cdrom and /cdrom1 ? No. Those lines in lilo.conf tell lilo not to attach the ide driver to the CD-ROMs. A necessity if you want to attach the ide-scsi driver to them.
