> Hi!  I'm running RedHat 6.0 (kernel 2.2.5-15), and I've been having
> problems with my CD-RW drive.  I read the CD-Writing HOWTO and did all
> of the stuff, and I got to where I am now.  I have a DVD drive on
> /dev/hdc, and this is detected at /dev/scd0.  My CD-RW drive is on
> /dev/hdd, and I can't find it anywhere.  Both drives are IDE-ATAPI, and
> I have reconfigured the kernel with appropriate options as found in the
> CD-Writing HOWTO (SCSI emulation, no IDE-ATAPI CD drive, etc.)
> "cdrecord -scanbus" finds the DVD drive at sr0 (on scsibus0), but for
> 1-7 it just prints "*".  The startup log (dmesg) seems to suggest that
> the DVD is on sr0-sr7 and the CD-RW is on sr8-sr15, but I don't actually
> have /dev/sr0, etc.  Here is some relevant output from dmesg:
