9.3.4 Post-configuration steps
Kernel support for the CD-writer can be activated during booting by the
following:
# echo ide-scsi >>/etc/modules
# echo sg >>/etc/modules
# cd /dev; ln -sf scd0 cdrom
Manual activation can be done by:
# modprobe ide-scsi
# modprobe sg
After reboot, you can check installation by:
$ dmesg|less
# apt-get install cdrecord
# cdrecord -scanbus
[Per Warren Dodge] Sometimes there may be conflicts between
ide-scsi and ide-cd if there are both CD-ROM and
CD-R/RW on the system. Try adding the following line to your
/etc/modutils/aliases, running update-modules, and
rebooting.
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
This causes the IDE driver to load before ide-scsi. The IDE
driver ide-cd takes control of the ATAPI CD-ROM—anything
that it hasn't been told to ignore. That leaves just the
ignored devices for ide-scsi to control.
