[TriLUG] any clues?

[Tobias Gloth]

I think he has a CD-RW drive that he wants to mount. While the drive
is physically an IDE drive, it needs to be mounted as SCSI to use it
as a CD burner, AFAIK. Aparently, the mounting fails.

I went thru this exercise this weekend, and got all information at:

   http://www.linux.com/howto/CD-Writing-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.1

I'd guess he's missing some module.

just my 2c
