Solution - Re: PLUG-discuss digest, Vol 1 #3458 - CDR and RedCrap 8

[Michael Vanecek]

Frustratingly enough, the solution ended up being pretty simple. The 
worst battles always ends up with a simple solution it seems. I edited 
/boot/grub/grub.conf and at the end of the kernel line I added:
hdd=ide-scsi - you'll want to replace hdd with whatever hd device your 
cd ends up being alocated to.

I'm not sure if it made any difference or if RH would have done this 
automatically and I'd undone everything else (I undo my changes when 
they don't work) except for modules.conf, where I had typed this entry:

alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi

I haven't undone it now since things seem to be working - but you can 
try not typing it and see if RH automatically enters it or works sans it.

RH8 automatically updates fstab (to my headache for a bit) and the /dev 
files (again to my headache for a bit). Reboot and then run cdrecord 
-scanbus and see if your recorder shows up in the list...

Have fun,
Mike
