Guest unformed Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 My CDR drive was working until today. Now I can't access it at all. I'm running MDK 9.1 completely cookered. Harddrake lists is as its device file being: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd however, the device file doesn't exist. I'm pretty sure that's all it is that's the problem, but don't know how to recreate it. MAKEDEV doesn't seem to work, unless I'm doing something wrong. Running cdrecord -scanbus returns: cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. Any help on what it might be, or what I could do to create the device file? Thanks...
