Burning tools

I'm having problems with burning tools, they can't find my CD-RW Burner :S

CDRECORD

Code:

root@AliTriX:/home/dbzgt# cdrecord -scanbus

cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.

CDRDOA

Code:

root@AliTriX:/home/dbzgt# cdrdao scanbus

Can somebody explain to me?

Hi!
It looks like you don't have scsi simulation loaded. If your writer is IDE/ATAPI, you have to load the compatibility driver ide-scsi. Look for "ide-scsi" in the output of "lsmod"; if it isn't there, you can load it adding ' append="hdb=ide-scsi" ', if it's 'hdb'. For example, your "lilo.conf" should look like,

Code:

...
       image=/boot/zImage-2.2.14
         label=Linux
         read-only
         append="hdb=ide-scsi"
...

(don't forget you have to do "/sbin/lilo" after change "lilo.conf", if you want lilo sees the changes)

If I was you, I'd read the "CD-Writing-HOWTO", which is much clearer than me

, and not too long.

I did `lsmod`, result:

Code:

And can you give me a URL of the HOWTO you're talking about?

Btw, here you have a part of my syslog, if you people are interested in the information:

Did you do "cdrecord -scanbus" as root?
regards

PS the HOWTO is in http://tldp.org/

alitrix · 12-03-2003, 03:24 PM

Yes, check the logs I've used in my first post

root@....

Tinkster · 12-03-2003, 03:27 PM

Are you using a stock-kernel that came with
slack or did you roll your own?

Cheers,
Tink

alitrix · 12-03-2003, 03:38 PM

Just the default that is made with Slackware 9.0
Version: 2.4.20

Tinkster · 12-03-2003, 03:47 PM

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html

If you do a
dmesg | less
/SCSI

Can you find anything like this?

Code:

hdc: attached ide-scsi driver. scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices   Vendor: HL-DT-ST  Model: DVD-ROM GDR8081N  Rev: 0012   Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 10x/24x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12

If the answer is no, you should try the lilo
append-statement that Y0jiMb0 suggested.

Cheers,
Tink

alitrix · 12-03-2003, 04:16 PM

I did what you sayed, result:

Code:

dbzgt@AliTriX:~$ dmesg | grep SCSI
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices

Sounds good for me

And btw, I don't use LILO, I use GRUB..

Tinkster · 12-03-2003, 04:34 PM

I can't see anything about a device
actually being attached to it ... maybe
you should go with less rather than grep?
Or use grep with more context?

dmesg | grep -A 3 -B 3 SCSI

Can't blame that on me buddy ;)

Hm, isn't this line telling us something? --> kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2

And I didn't want to blame you :P
I just wanted to ask if GRUB has a possibility like that one

Yeah, just I've never seen that one before.

Sure does ...
In the line that points to your kernel attach
hdX=ide-scsi
where X is your burner.

Tink

alitrix · 12-04-2003, 01:39 AM

In what file of GRUB do I have to put that?
In menu.lst??

pi314159 · 12-04-2003, 10:04 AM

I've been trying to set up my CD-burner in Slack 9.1 (kernel 2.4.22), and I'm in what appears to be exactly the same situation...I passed hdc=ide-scsi to the kernel in my loadlin script, and am getting all the same dmesg confirmations and errors. I, too, would appreciate any advice.

Thanks!

alitrix · 12-04-2003, 10:22 AM

Hm, maybe somekind of bug in Slack? (with some types of CD-RW's..)

Btw, I have Creative Labs CD-RW
