Very Computer

I have RH 2.2.12-20 with new patches for kernel through 2.2.18. I ran
cdrecord -scanbus and it said no SCSI device found. Thus I imagine I
would have to reconfigure the kernel to use ide-scsi for the Sony CRX140
burner I recently bought.

My questions are should I use a particular patch level for the kernel?
Secondly, can I enable both EIDE and SCSI support during the kernel
configuration? Anything else I should know.

TIA,
Chris

No you don't, you have Linux 2.2.12-20, you probably have Redhat 7.0, or
6.x.

No

Should be fine, read the excellent CD-Burning-HOWTO

It's all described in cdwriting HOWTO, but anyway. You have to
reconfigure the kernel. You disable IDE/ATAPI cdrom and enable SCSI
emulation support. You can't enable both.
