But if I say my CD-RW is the cdrom all works as expected (/dev/scd1). Also the capabilities aren't correct I think: Jan 14 21:26:31 worf kernel: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 0x/0x writer cd/rw caddy for my CDROM; it is a TEAC-CDROM without caddy, but tray and has a read-speed of 42. It is NOT a writer. The writer seems to be recognized correctly (again a TEAC-CDRW): Jan 14 21:26:31 worf kernel: sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Only the write-speed isn't correct (it can only write 8x not 24x) As I have no time in the moment to dig this down further, I just write this for information. Btw I'm using kernel 2.4.0 with reiserfs and NVIDIA patch. Bye Martin Martin Maciaszek wrote: > Since I installed Kernel 2.4.0 VMware is no longer able to > recognize my cdrom drive.
