Please i need your help setting up my CD burner.

I did not pass the parameter (while installing the system) so there is no cd device in the fstab.

How can i overcome this problem ?


2)After installing thek3b-0.9-i686-1.tgz version i get the following error :


Help would be appreciated :-).

I've only got /dev/cdrom in my fstab and k3b works.

The first /dev/cdrom is not a cdwriter .

Check out your /dev directory. If your cd burner has a driver installed, it should show up there as /dev/cdburner, maybe, or /dev/scd0, or /dev/hdb, /dev/hdc, /dev/hdd, etc.

Whichever one it turns out to be, add a line to your fstab like this:

/dev/cdburner /mnt/cdburner iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0

You'll want to create the directory /mnt/cdburner so it has somewhere to put it, and replace /dev/cdburner with the name you found earlier for the cd burner. Then "mount -a", and see if it works.

Hey thank you for your help :-).
Now, i have installed the xcdroaster (k3b would'nt install) .How can i write some data onto a CD (so that i can use Nero to burn the same cd in windows)?

A step by step example would be very appreciated .

there's a manual on the website

http://www.xcdroast.org/manual/

good luck.

Hi, thank you for the link.

Can someone post their set ups here .

Thank you.

I have the followint thing :
and

Any clues ?

Maybe i need to remount them as scd0 and scd1 ?

Help ..

if your cd writer is using scsi and is not saw compile a custom kernel with scsi emulation and append driveXXX=ide-scsi where driveXXX could be /dev/hdc /dev/sdb etc....

How do i do it ?

my lilo entry

# Start LILO global section
append="hdc=ide-scsi"

my /etc/rc.d/rc.modules entry

# *** THIS IS STILL LOADED BY DEFAULT ***
# SCSI emulation support. This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation
# for IDE ATAPI devices, and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver
# instead of a native ATAPI driver. This is useful if you have an ATAPI
# device for which no native driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI
# PD-CD or CD-RW drive); you can then use this emulation together with an
# appropriate SCSI device driver. Note that this option does NOT allow you
# to attach SCSI devices to a box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter
# installed. Also, you'll need to exclude your CD-RW from being grabbed by
# the normal ATAPI driver by passing a flag to the kernel at boot time.
# If you're using LILO, add this: append="hdc=ide-scsi"
# Replace "hdc" with the appropriate device name.
/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi

good luck.

Thank you a lot :-) . I have removed ide-cd in my modules.conf and changed fstab (scd0 and scd1) and XRoast works very fast now.

Thank you guys!
