From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020524 Description of problem: CD- and DVD-burners require the use of the ide-scsi driver. Unfortunately, the ide-scsi module and ide-cdrom driver are mutually exclusive for any one device. Therefore, the installer/kudzu, or perhaps the kernel, should: a) Detect CD-ROM like devices with write capability; b) Force use of the ide-scsi driver for those device; c) Set up the appropriate links as /dev/cdrom -> sr0 instead of -> hdc, etc. One possible way of doing this would be to completely deprecate use of both the ide-cdrom and ide-tape devices, and use ide-scsi for *all* IDE tape- and CD-ROM devices. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to use a CD-burner in a newly installed system. (cdrecord -scanbus should detect the device. If not, it's broken.) Additional info:
The installer sets up some of this stuff. I don't know that we'd want to go to ide-scsi for *all* CDs and tapes. Maybe if the other drivers were removed from the kernel and it always worked this way without configuration. :)
In my experience, this is set-up perfectly in Limbo2. CDrecord works directly, and mounting works afterwards. Still problems in Limbo2 with configuration of cd-burner?
This bug is solved long ago, I believe. I didn't find this problem in Limbo2 or (null), running cdrecord -scanbus as root always works, and mounting afterwards works as well.
