USB CD-R
Ok damnit. I'm having one of those "It Has To Be Something Stupidly Simple" moments. I'm running Redhat 7.2, with the updated RPM 2.4.18 kernel. I have an external USB CD-R hooked up to it that I have gotten to work just dandy in the recent past. I remember, though, having some trouble with it until I went and juggled around the order that the various kernel modules loaded. Problem is, I had to reboot since then and now it's back to not working.
The problem I have is that, when the drive is turned on, it gets detected just fine, the usb-storage module is loaded just fine and it shows up as a normal entry in /proc/bus/usb. BUT, the SCSI sub system doesn't detect it and attach it to a scsi bus. If I load sr_mod and scsi_mod by hand, they load just fine, but don't detect anything. If I load the scsi modules and THEN turn the CD-R on, they STILL don't detect it. I know this works as it worked beautifully before, but I think I'm missing something small.
For what it's worth, the system also has an ATAPI tape drive which is on the scsi bus (via the ide-scsi module) as well.
Anyone have any ideas on what I might be missing??
