Hello i am a new user to redhat 7.3 i was trying to burn a cd using the built in cd burning software called Koncd when i try to do a burn it says scsidev: 'yamaha' devname: 'yamaha' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 /usr/bin/cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. /usr/bin/cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jörg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM so i went to command and tried cdrecord -checkdrive came back with. scsidev: 'yamaha' devname: 'yamaha' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 cdrecord: No such file or directory.

Make sure you are root. cdrecord -scanbus comes back with scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'AOPEN ' 'CD-RW CRW1232PRO' '1.30' Removable CD-ROM which is the drive i have so i thought maybe it was'nt mounted and tryed mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 and it said mount: block device /dev/cdrom1 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom1, or too many mounted file systems. WTF any help would be much appreciated thank you for your time.

Make sure you are root. guess what you need to be root to run any cdrw devices, unless specified on config files. sudo etc. no s--- "mount thing" this is raw acess to burn an iso image just do after you cdrecord -scanbus scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SONY CD-RW' 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * (...) cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=20 xpto.iso regards, ricardo mesquita LX

You don't need to be root, just need to have sufficient permissions for whichever non-root account you use. Open a shell + su to root, then type chmod o+rw /usr/bin/cdrecord Also, you don't need to mount the cd drive to use cdrecord (there is no file system on a blank cd)
