cdrecord
Need some help with cdrecord recognizing my devices. Using 'cdrecord -scanbus' it tells me:
"Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'." Since 'cdrecord -scanbus' doesn't work I'm not sure what the device parameters are. Right now I'm stuck with K3B :(. |

I am not sure how the program that you want to use works but if K3B works then cdrecord works. Did you run cdrecord -scanbus as root? |
I ran 'cdrecord -scanbus' as user and root. Both give that above error.
I'm not sure if it should be '/dev/sg*' or '/dev/pg*'. When I was on FC3 I used "-dev=ATA:1,1,0". On Slack it gives me this error: "Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling scsidev: 'ATA:1,1,0' devname: 'ATA' scsibus: 1 target: 1 lun: 0 Warning: Using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface. cdrecord: Read-only file system. Cannot open '/dev/hdd'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'." When it says: "cdrecord: Read-only file system. Cannot open '/dev/hdd'. Cannot open SCSI driver." That is the device, it just isn't working. |
As I said I'm not sure about how it all works, but if K3B works .....
Does K3B work? Just had another read. Do you have append=ide-scsi in your lilo.conf? |
Yes K3B does work.
'append=ide-scsi' is not in my lilo.conf . . . Should I add it? Would I add it under 'root = /dev/hda2'? Thanks for you help by the way :). |
If you use kernel 2.4 then add the line
Code:
append="hdd=ide-scsi" Just curious if K3B works why do you need to know what the device parameters are? In other words what are you trying to do? |
if you use 2.6 kernel, add the line:
Code:
append="hdd=ide-cd" |
I'm on 2.4 kernel so I'll add that top line. Thanks for the replies :).
samac: I like using cdrecord to burn. If I know how to do something using command I usually prefer to do it that way since it makes my mind work more often. I'll try this out probably later today. I can't afford a reboot at the moment. Unless, there's a way to do it without rebooting, though I assume since it's lilo you'd have to reboot? |
