Using kp49 and HEN with augmented booston by joerg_rw, I've tried connecting my DVD-RW writer (desktop PC internal one), via (S)ATA to USB adapter (with external power source for writer). HEN recognizes and enumerates device without problem (latest dmesg message is:
Code:
[ 9841.854827] scsi 13:0:0:0: CD-ROM            ATAPI    DVD DD 2X16X4X16 G7H9 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
Ho ever, I got troubles mounting it. Of course, auto-mounting doesn't work, but while trying to mount it manually, I can't find sr* under /dev/. So, basically, I've no idea what to mount.

Also, unlike - for example - pendrives and HDD's, dmesg doesn't show any info about /dev/ (after connecting pendrive, one line says "[sda] sda1" or something like that.

Any hints, how to get access to my data on optical drive, connected via such setup?

---

Additional question, hence I left it alone until I can actually get working read access - any way of using writing capabilities of DVD recorder (via program under Easy Debian, for example - but, what about drivers? I've no idea, if current kernel-modules support writing).

Thanks in advance.

// Edit

It turned out, that using kp49, i don't have cdrom.ko, sr_mod.ko and sg.ko modules (same situation, as with kp47). thanks for blue_led about pointing me about checking that. Will leave info in kp49 thread.
