[ale] SCSI Emulation (CD-R)

[Geoffrey]

Hmmm.  I don't know.  I know that I get the say error you were when that 
module isn't loaded.  So you don't enable modules for your kernels? 
Just out of curiosity, check to see if there is an 'sg' module in your 
lib/modules tree? (find /lib/modules -name 'sg.0*' -print)

Is it possible you had a cdrom mounted in the drive at the time, maybe 
as an ide device?  I'm really fishing here..

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
