Just a few questions...
I've got an HP dvd200e DVD writer that hooks up to the USB port.
I have compiled the USB stuff and the hot-pluggable stuff into my kernel.
I DON'T have the usb showing up in my /dev, and I'm not sure how to get it there (kinda new at this admin stuff).
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Brian

A few questions implies that I have more than one ;). Also, when I've got the usb port showing up, can I just mount it and treat it the same as /dev/cdrom? And, does anybody know what kind of software I'd need to burn DVDs on that?
Yeah, I think those are all my questions ;)

I'm not a usb guru but path is /dev/usb/
you don't need hot-pluggable support (it needs program to work)
But probably you need usb mass storage support enabled.
Check your /var/log/messages file it shows founded devices + kernel messages.

Hey -
Thanks for the reply. I can actually see /dev/usb, but no devices. I have the usb-storage module compiled (for mass storage), and a bunch of other usb support modules compiled. I also loaded the usbcore and usb-storage modules.
Do I need to do something special? I really don't know much about this :(
Thanks,
Brian
/dev/usb/ is dir
post your /var/log/messages file but remove that file first and then reboot (and drive connected + power on).

USB Mass storage emulates scsi so your Optical drive should be /dev/scd0
www.linux-usb.org should have some helpful information for you.
