Cannot open '/dev/scd0'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling If you do run cdrecord -scanbus, it tells you to run cdrecord -scanbus for possible targets. How special! And, yes, I was root when I ran those commands. The messages that give a minus 2 for the target and LUN ar the last useful messages. I think all the rest are just attempts by cdrecord to make sense of the situation and be helpful. If I try one of the syntax suggestions of just the target and the LUN as in 0,0 instead of 0,0,0, I start getting my old familiar /dev/pg0 routine again. I did check in to a couple of other possibilities which, like many long shots, turned out to be dead ends. I put in parallel printer support with no change and also checked on the parallel IDE kernel support which is so far off the mark that it can't possibly be the reason for this problem. The other system I have access to that works does not have a /dev/pg0 and doesn't seem to need it. "Willem van der Walt" writes: >Hi, >What does some thing like >eject /dev/scd0 >produce?
