not sure this really needed the 2.6.0-test1 kernel, but i just burned a CD without the SCSI emulation module, whoo hoo! on a dell laptop with a DVD reader/CD-RW, i booted without the "hdb=ide-scsi" kernel parm, and # cdrecord dev=/dev/hdb -inq # to scan # cdrecord dev=/dev/hdb blah.iso # to burn this is using cdrecord-2.0-6; as i read it, you need cdrecord >= 2.0. there is apparently no need for all that "dev=ATAPI:" nonsense that's been floating around. rday -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
