[TriLUG] kudzu doesn't recognize CD-RW

[sanjeev rathore]

Hi , 
It seems that Kudzu was not able to pick-up my CD-RW, when I plugged in with USB.  I have noticed that under the USB devices there is an unknown device which is almost certain to be my cd burner since I only have one USB device.  There it says that class: 255 ,  vendor ID: 0xac9 , USB Version: 1.16 and other things like that.  In the /etc/fstab file I don't see any entry for my cd burner.  The manufacturer of cd burner is MicroSolutions.  
Thanks for the previous helpful suggestions, 
Sanjeev Rathore

Hi Sanjeev,

I have used USB CD-RW with RedHat 7.3 successfully. Just plug the Cd-RW to the 
USB port before booting into Linux. Kudzu and hotplug should be able to 
detect and configure it. 

It will be detected as a SCSI device. I think that it will even make an entry 
on /etc/fstab for it, as well as a directory on /mnt

Then, using a GUI program / cdrecord on the command line, you should be able 
to use it no problem.


Hope this helps.



Salut,
