cdrecord -scanbus skips scsibus0?
I'm having trouble getting a SCSI cdwriter to work with an older
machine I inherited. I can mount CDs by using /dev/sr0, but cdrecord
-scanbus does not detect the writer although it is listed in
/proc/scsi/scsi and can see it /var/log/messages and the kernel ring
buffer. cdrecord -scanbus does not show scsibus0 at all.
Here is the output from cdrecord -scanbus:
------------------------------------------
scsidev: 'ATA'
devname: 'ATA'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun -2
Linux sg griver version: 3.5.27
...long message about using an inofficial libscg...(snipped)...

I am sure that the SCSI chain is terminated properly and there are no
id conflicts. The verison of linux I'm using in Fedora Core 2 with
the stock 2.6.5-1.358 kernel. The machine is a Dell 410 with a
Adaptec AIC-7880 SCSI card built-in to the motherboard. I am missing
something but I can't figure out what. I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks
