I don't like that last set of figures :-(.
dev=6,0,0 is also weird. How many drives have you got? I'm normally 1,0,0

Translating from Schilling-speak, that's bus 6. Is there six scsi buses and does your cd only show on the 6th?

Have you /dev/pg0 & pg1) and /dev/sg0 & sg1? If not, make symlinks every time you reboot

bastl · 01-31-2012, 01:32 PM

dev=6,0,0 is /dev/sr0

Have a look on my cdrecord -scanbus:

Have you /dev/pg0 & pg1

NO I don't have this nodes.
If you can give me major minor I could crate them

Quote:

/dev/sg0 & sg1

Is present

Make symlinks from sg to pg ?

It could be the wrong written CD in the drive I forgot to take out ?

Its a SATA burner, right?

I've never got any problems quite like what you are getting bastl, but I have had odd issues with SATA CD/DVD drives being used in 'IDE mode' (or 'legacy mode').

You could try changing to SATA mode, and see if that helps.

Warning! If you have win2k/winXP installed an havent gone though the whole 'adding SATA drivers during the install process' changing the HDD/CD/DVD drives from 'IDE' to 'SATA' will make windows fail to boot. As long as you dont try to boot windows, and change the mode back before you do boot windows, everything should be fine. Linux should have no problems booting from IDE mode, SATA mode, or changing modes between boots.

business_kid · 02-01-2012, 03:05 AM

As for sg0 & pg0, symlinks are fine, in fact unnecessary. I don't have pg* but do have sg0 & sg1 and never had a problem. It does make the cd more visible to cdrecord, as you will see if you add symlinks. It's more Schilling-speak, and my comments on that should be moderated on any decent mailing list :-).

Yes, SATA.
What do you mean with changing to SATA mode ?

Maybe the driver module sg wants sg* named nodes and dosen't uses others ?
Just one moment I'll dry it ...
- sg0 is a char device and sr0 (my burner) is a block device ?? ...
- mknod --mode=660 sg0 c 11 0

Damn, No:

In your BIOS you can set SATA devices to be used as SATA (normally 'ACHI mode' or 'native SATA') or you can set them to use an IDE compatibility mode ('IDE mode' or 'legacy mode').

You might already be using native SATA mode, its just something that is worth checking, and trying SATA mode if you arent using it now.

bastl · 02-02-2012, 10:20 AM

I can set it to 'SATA -> AHCI', 'RAID', 'native IDE' or 'legacy IDE' mode.
But the error stays the same.
It is the same error with my old P-ATA burner, the cause I bought this new one.
It suddenly did break with this error.

business_kid · 02-02-2012, 11:37 AM

At this stage you should get one of your mates to try it and see how it goes. Just divide & conquer. Too many posts here, and you're getting nowhere.

If you got the problem with the old PATA burner, have changed to a new SATA burner and are still getting the problem, IMO it is software.

business_kid is right, testing the burner(s) in a different machine is easier than trying to work though all the possible software problems.

You could also try loading a liveCD and burning a CD/DVD from the live CD (given 2 CD/DVD drives). Or making a USB flash drive linux distro install and doing a test burn from there.

bastl · 02-03-2012, 05:50 AM

O.K. I'll try.
I also think it is a software problem. I must have changed something and don't know what.
