I have a Iomega ip cd 12X CDRW and I can't figure out how to write CD's with it. I installed cdrecord-1.9-6 and tried runnign # cdrecord -scanbus and this is what I get

[root@syr-24-161-XXX-XXX smoothwall]# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.9 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
]0;ben@syr-24-161-XXX-XXX.twcny.rr.com: /home/ben/downloads/smoothwall [root@syr-24-161-XXX-XXX smoothwall]#

I went into my lilo.conf and it has the folowing line
append="hdc=ide-scsi"

My book on linux says it's sposed to be there but it doesn't seem to help. It also says to run this command "dmesg | grep ^scsi" but that doesn't give me anything. no error message, no output at all. What do I do next?

What distro are you using?

Sounds like you don't have ide-scsi compiled in to the kernel. You may be in for a kernel recompile (so this is a good time to upgrade to 2.4.15)
