So you have added the 'hdc=ide-scsi' to grub?? I ran a cdrecord -scanbus on my system and my CDR/W shows up on 1,0,0 and it's a RICOH MP9200. I use Xcdroast to burn CD's and it works ok. It's might also be worth checking the drives sym links. As I have had a few problems in the past with them. When I was trying to configure Xine correctly the sym links got stuffed up, and I couldn't burn CD's anymore. It's worth looking into.

My CDRW is a Yamaha CRW1200EZ that is the primary cdrom. i have it set up as ide-scsi through scd0. When I do a cdrecord -scanbus it see it at 0,0,0 but when i try to write to it, it hangs up for a minute and then says "CD/DVD-recorder not ready" and the drive won't respond. I've tried everything that i could find on boards but i can't get it to work.Is there a known problem with any modules or with this drive? ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
