cannot burn a cd

thelonius · 07-18-2006, 08:08 PM

Hello,

I try to burn an image file with

Code:

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 file.iso

but I cannot do it:

Code:

cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg0'. Cannot open SCSI driver.

I'm root and I see with 'cdrecord -scanbus' that '0,0,0' is correct

Code:

        0,0,0     0) 'PHILIPS ' 'DVD+RW SDVD6004 ' '1.03' Removable CD-ROM
        0,1,0     1) *
        0,2,0     2) *

where is the problem ?

Thank you.

If you are using a 2.6 kernel, then try something like

Code:

#cdrecord -v -eject dev=/dev/hdc filename.iso

What version of cdrecord and what version of Fedora Core??? Which device is the recorder??

ls -al /dev/cdrom
/usr/bin/cdrecord -version

The cdrecord command needs a bit more, for example;

cdrecord -v -pad speed=XX dev=/dev/cdrom file.iso

where XX is from 1-16[8 for RW media] in your case.

reddaz is right.

it's 2.01-dvd version of cdrecorder and cdrom is on hda

what i wonder is why it always worked with 0,0,0 (or 1,0,0 or whatever -scanbus finds), but not now.

another interesting detail: with dev=/dev/hda, i see that cdrecord finds 'scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2', but when i dev=-2,-2,-2, the same error - cannot find the device.

anyway, it works with dev=/dev/hdX in 2.6.11.

thank YOUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe they've been updating the syntax to move a bit away from the SCSI format to one more oriented towards IDE and ATAPI for those devices. You could still use dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 as well.
