Burning CDs on Slack 10.1

AnderWinkler · 02-27-2005, 12:37 PM

I cannot burn CD's in Slack 10.1. I tried several times, with diferent frontends without success. It appears that my combo (CD-RW + DVD-ROM) is not detected by cdrecord backend, though correctly installed (primary IDE slave) and working well in WinXP.

The output of cdrecord -scanbus is below:

Code:

The "0) 'ATA ' 'ST3120827AS ' '3.42' Disk " is my SATA hard disk.

What should I do?

Tks.

if you have a standard kernel ( 2.4.29 ), you'll have to add the following :

append="hdb=ide-scsi"

in the linux section of /etc/lilo.conf.
after that, run " #lilo " and do a reboot.

then it should work.

I did it. And now, the output is:

I guess now it'll work! Thank you very much.

I noticed that, after the "append" line in lilo.conf, the CDROM drive is no longer /dev/hdb, but /dev/sr0.

I just corrected the /dev/cdrom symlink. No problem. It works fine.

( sometimes the whole.... )
