FC2 cannot see my CD Writer
hey guys!
i have a very big problem here...after so much frustration after upgrading from fc1, i decided to fresh install FC2, everything was fine, then i installed xcdroast, thats when i realised that my Asus cd writer is not recognized by xcdroast. my question is how can i manually installed the device? the are so many dev names in /dev and having a problem which one is for USBs here is my modprobe.conf for reference. alias eth0 tg3 alias scsi_hostadapter ata_piix alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || : remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0 alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd THANKS IN ADVANCE. :) |

Hi, ill do my best to help you with my limited knowledge of FC2.
First things first is to see if your CDRW is recognized at boot. Try something like this... Code:
[root@neo mnt]# dmesg | grep hd hda: ST380021A, ATA DISK drive hdb: JLMS XJ-HD165H, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc: LITE-ON LTR-52246S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc is my cd burner. Now Fedora created a symbolic link in /dev called cdrom1 for me which points to my /dev/hdc. This might be the same for you. Try this... Code:
[root@neo root]# ls -l /dev/cdrom1 I use K3B, but im sure there is an option somewhere in XCDROAST which allows you to select your reading/writing devices. You might just have the incorrect entry. EDIT: Ok, re-reading your post, I see that you have mentioned USB, if your burner is USB, your device might be something like /dev/sda1. Just taking a stab in the dark here though. Try to substiture "dmesg | grep hd" for "dmesg | grep sd" Good Luck Kristijan |
Hi,
For what its worth, I had much the same problem after I upgraded from FC1 to FC2. I didn't update my bootloader during the upgrade and the entry hdc=IDE-SCSI was still in my bootloader. All I did was delete the "hdc=IDE-SCSI" option & FC2 happily recoginsed my CDW after a reboot. Hope that helps Stephen |
thank you guys (Kristijan and sowens) you're such a great a help! its working now.:D hahaha how stupid i am on trying all the /dev/usbs for almost a week..and then you came and give me idea at least to sneak on my fstab. it is there on cdrom1 linked to /dev/scd0...tsk tsk :D
again THANKS. |
