cd burner not working

hello,
i've got a ide cd burner. i've activated scsi emulation in the kernel and i think also everything else that is needed to make the cd burner run as scsi device, but when i start the k3b setup it only shows a cd-rom and not a cd-writer. my cdwriter is running on /dev/ide/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/cd. how can i make it to work as a cd-writer? it seems to work as cdrom, i can mount it and everything, but i want to burn cds on it!

thanks
tom

Did you add "hdx=ide-scsi" to your grub.conf? Replacing hdx with the correct device obviously? ;-)

It should appear in you /dev as something like
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
whereas a normal non-scsi cdrom will be something like
/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd

This will occur when you've got SCSI emulation working properly.

i remember this hdx=ide-scsi in grub.conf of my previous mandrake installation. i'll try that :-)
