Re: goldstar cdrw drive

[Matt McKenzie <linuxknight@attbi.com>]

If you have ide-scsi enabled (passed to the kernel as an option in
grub.conf or lilo.conf, i.e.: append="hdd=ide-scsi") then cdrecord
should work.

You can run cdrecord --scanbus to scan the SCSI bus, which includes
virtual SCSI devices such as an ide-scsi cdrw drive.

Without ide-scsi emulation, and the aforementioned modules (ide-scsi-,
scsi core, scsi generic, and scsi-cdrom) cdrecord will not detect the
cdrw drive, and the system as a whole will simply see a regular CDROM
drive.

I have a CDRW drive, hdd, and ide-scsi emulation.

When I run cdrecord --scanbus this is the output:


cdrecord --scanbus

PS- RTFM ;)
The CD-Writing HOWTO might be of some help:

You might also peruse the cdrecord man page:
