Hi

I am trying to burn a iso (DVD) image using cdrecord

when I do cdrecord -scanbus I get this out put

What is this all about and can some one tell me how to fix this

Could you post the following information:

The contents of /etc/fstab.

The results of a lspci command:
lspci

The results of a uname command:
uname -a

The first part of the list that you get with:
ls -l /dev
i.e. enough of the list to include the cdrom and dvd device names.

In /etc/fstab the following line is commented out. Why?

#/dev/hda /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

The results of lspci and ls -l /dev show that your CD/DVD is on /dev/hda so that line of /etc/fstab should not be commented out.

uname shows that you are using kernel 2.6. Therefore you should use IDE support for a CD/DVD and not use SCSI or ide-scsi emulation. If you passed the kernel a parameter which says /dev/hda=ide-scsi then remove it.

/dev/cdrom, /dev/cdwriter, /dev/dvd, and /dev/dvdwriter are all correctly linked to /dev/hda so you can use any of them to address the CD/DVD.


Your cdrecord command should use IDE addressing, not scsi addressing. So your command should be:

cdrecord -v -dao dev=dvdwriter my1.iso

-dao only works with some CD/DVD drives. If -dao does not work with your drive try:

cdrecord -v dev=dvdwriter my1.iso gracetime=2

Hi jailbait

Thanks it worked and learned a lot from you. By the way I did not pass any parameter to kernel as such. And why dev=0,0,0 did not worked

Regards

dev=0,0,0 is the address of a SCSI device. Your CD/DVD is an IDE device. You have no device of any kind at 0,0,0
