problem with cdrom in ide-scsi for use with abcde and/or cdparanoia

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I now have both a cdrom and a cdrw on my machine. They are both ide/atapi but i
am using scsi emulation; the cdrw is scd0 and the cdrom is scd1. I have no
problem accessing the cdrom or the cdrw as far as mounting or listening to audio
cds. However, when I try to run abcde and/or cdparanoia I get errors about
"unable to open cdrom". when I run cdparanoia with the -v option, the indication
is
Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
        Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface
                /dev/scd1 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
        Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface
                No generic SCSI device found to match CDROM device /dev/scd1

Yet when I run abcde and/or cdparanoia as root, there is no problem. I assume
this is some kind of permissions problem, but I can't seem to find the source of
it.
/dev/cdrom is the symlink to /dev/scd1 and /dev/cdrecord is the symlink to
/dev/scd0. I am also a member of the cdrom group. I didn't have any trouble with
these programs before converting to scsi.
Can anybody see what I need to change here?
I have put this on other lists, but all i've gotten so far is other people with
the same problem and no solutions.
TIA.
