DVD-ROM + CD-RW with XCDROAST

rehab junkie · 12-30-2003, 04:47 AM

Aargh! I can't get Xcdroast to detect my drives. The kernel-level stuff seems to work:

Code:

Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: ad0: 39266MB <IC35L040AVVN07-0> [79780/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA66
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: acd0: DVDROM <Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-116 0122> at ata1-master PIO4
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: acd1: CDRW <ATAPI CD-RW 52X24> at ata1-slave PIO4
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: GEOM: create disk cd0 dp=0xc451d600

Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: cd0: <PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-116 1.22> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: cd0: 16.000MB/s transfers
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: cd0: cd present [348889 x 2048 byte records]
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: cd1 at ata1 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: cd1: <ATAPI CD-RW 52X24 F.EZ> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device 
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: cd1: 16.000MB/s transfers
Dec 30 21:39:01 timmeh kernel: cd1: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present - tray closed

I can mount, read and unmount CDs on both drives. But xcdroast just refuses to see them

and do you have hdc=ide-scsi in your boot parameters?

rehab junkie · 01-01-2004, 10:25 PM

err... doesn't that boot log clipping above show that? Or am I missing something?

Caeda · 01-02-2004, 11:10 AM

Ah, no. The boot log above doesnt show that. All it says is you have a scsi drive and its not loading it. So do you or do you not have the hdc or hdwhatever=ide-scsi so you can use it as a burner.

You sure you're not getting Linux kernel booting mixed with *BSD? The append "hdc=ide-scsi" is a lilo thing, isn't it?

When I do a camcontrol devlist I get the following:

<PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-116 1.22> at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass0)
<ATAPI CD-RW 52X24 F.EZ> at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (cd1,pass1)

This looks to me as if the system has mounted both drives using scsi-emulation (atapicam)

I think you have an xcdroast config issue. The kernel is working correctly. /dev/cd0 is your "scsi" device and you should be able to write to it as root. Have you tried to config xcdroast as root?

"You sure you're not getting Linux kernel booting mixed with *BSD? The append "hdc=ide-scsi" is a lilo thing, isn't it? "

If you had just checked the first time I asked you to, we would be done and over with that step by now! So JUST CHECK. If that's not it, we can move onto the next thing to check, otherwise, I still need to know. DO YOU OR DO YOU NOT, have hd?=ide-scsi cause Linux NEEDS scsi emulation for cd burning.

Crito · 01-03-2004, 01:26 PM

Doesn't the 2.6 Linux kernel deprecate ide-scsi emulation for CD burning? Anyway, just jerking your chain, since this isn't a Linux forum.

Anyway - I thought from the boot log above, where it shows two devices probed, one on ata1-master and ata1-slave (which looks suspiciously like IDE to me), becoming the targets of the cd0 and cd1 block devices, as Removable CD-ROM scsi-0 device. Hence, I deduced that SCSI emulation through atapicam was working. There is no hd?=ide-scsi line in the boot parameters. There are, however, the following lines in the kernel configuration (built in during compilation):

Code:

device atapicam
device scbus
device cd
device pass

...

device ata
device atapicd

I'll run off and look at xcdroast again.

xcdroast issue. I compiled it from source and it now works ok. I'll go hide in a corner now *blush*
