Then I got into trouble, because this how-to is for kernel 2.4 and I have 2.6.8. I didn't think of this and just tried to follow it step by step. The result was that cdrecord does still not work, and now _I'm not able to read CDs anymore!_
The things I have done (run) is:
[root@localhost /]# modprobe -a ide-scsi
You don't need ide-scsi to burn CDs on 2.6 kernels.
Yes, I discovered this when I searched the web for solutions.
[root@localhost dev]# rm cdrom [root@localhost dev]# ln -s scd0 cdrom
How can I revert to the original configuration? So I at least am able to read CDs?
rm /dev/cdrom ln -s hdc /dev/cdrom
Thanks. I actually tried this, but it didn't work. But after a reboot it did. So now I'm reading (and burning) CDs without problems!
Also bear in mind that you'll need to be root to burn CDs with a 2.6.8 kernel.
Strange. But it is my own computer so that doesn't matter.
Thanks for all other input aswell. I like this list. High volume, but it is very handy for a new Linux user like me. I have found answers to several problems without having to ask.
