[friskydrifter]

Ok i just added a Sony burner
ran kudzu - didnt come up with anything
looked at the kde device manager could see it as /dev/hdd
how the hell do i use it lol - any ideas to point me to the right direction?
No this isnt the drive i had the probs with mounting the cd-rom but i cant mount this either coz im not sure where/what and how to use it - any ideas greatly appreciated

If ide-scsi emulation is compiled into your kernel(it is with most distros), then you'd need to add the following to your lilo.conf:
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
the stanza would then look something like this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-5
label=linux.bak
root=/dev/hda1
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.18-5.img
Since buring in linux is generally an scsi fucntion, the ide drive needs to be set with an scsi emulation - that *should* do it.
