[techtalk] Setting up my Mitsumi 4802TE CDRW under Redhat Linux 6.0

[Beverly Guillermo]

Hopefully, I can help you out.  What version of the kernel are you using?
Also,
does the CDRW recognized as an IDE drive when you boot up?

I'm at work right now, so I can't give you my settings.  I'll get to it as
soon as I
get home and mail you.
