From dmesg: [root@coyote opt]# dmesg|grep LITE-ON [ 37.478169] ata2.00: ATAPI: LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S, HS06, max UDMA/66 [ 37.771121] scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S HS06 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [root@coyote opt]# dmesg|grep sr0 [ 42.199415] sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray [ 42.199483] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 So why cannot 4L-cli or 4L-gui, find it? >From the help pages on the LaCie site, it shows the response to this command: [root@coyote opt]# 4L-cli enumerate Using /etc/lightscribe.rc as outputting a very complete list of resources including the drive it will use, the above is all I get, and that file contains only: ------------- ResourceDir=/usr/lib/lightscribe/res; UpdateScriptDir=/usr/lib/lightscribe/updates; ------------- Here, /dev/dvd is a softlink to /dev/scd0, and despite the dmesg quote above, there indeed is not a /dev/sr0! Not only that, but: [root@coyote opt]# MAKEDEV sr0 don't know how to make device "sr0" But, a link from scd0 to sr0 appears to make it work. And I forgot the -s, so its a hardlink, which I assume will vanish on a reboot. This points to a udev error IMO. How is that best fixed? Greg, this is an uptodate FC6 x86 system running 2.6.24-rc6 configured for all libata drive access, so everything is scsi now if that helps. >-- > Marc Wilson | Windows: The first user interface where you click > msw@xxxxxxx | Start to turn it off. -- From a Slashdot.org post -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
