external USB - IDE case problem

[delryn]

Hey folks

I have an external case that plugs into my USB port, in the case I have CDRW.
My problem is getting the CDRW to work

I can find the usb device, but I can't seem to get the CDRW to be recognized.
dmesg says the device
is not claimed by any active driver
usb mass storage data integrity not assured
disabling device

what 'driver' do I need?

I have scsi support installed
ide-scsi support installed
cdrecord - scanbus doesn't see it

I have had it working before, using mandrake, I'm now using debian 3.1. And I can't remember how I did it.

any input would be appreciated
thanks

it should be mapped to SCSI CD device somewhere, something like /dev/scd0

check grep sd /var/log/messages

[delryn]

grep only lists the flash sticks attached to the system

I've tried running the gauntlet of possibilities for scsi device options
sd($)(#), sr, scd etc - as far as I know my system only uses sd($)(#)
