[CALUG] SCSI drivers for UBUNTU 10.04 with 2.6.32-34 kernel?

[James Ewing Cottrell 3rd]

I wouldn't think it would be a separate package...but more of a kernel 
module. Perhaps SCSI support is no longer compiled
into the standard kernel because SCSI CD/DVDs are less common then they 
used to be?!?

Try comparing "modprobe | sort" output under a system where it works and 
one where it doesn't.

You may have to compile a new kernel. Also check the OS Release Notes.

What did "the file README.ATAPI.setup from the wodim documentation" say?
