Ixthusdan Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 They should be detected just fine by linux. Is your plug and play off in the bios? Are your devices detected correctly by the bios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 If it is regular IDE CD-RW, then it should be detected in linux no problem. There is only one thing to do is to make one CD-RW as master and the other as slave using the jumper at the back of the CD-RWs. Don't use cable select since it can confuse Linux, making it unusable.
