firewire DVD - doesn't work
I have an NEC firewire DVD recorder that plugs into my machine and is detected bye the kernel:
Code:
kernel: ieee1394: Node resumed: ID:BUS[0-00:1023] GUID[00d04b490905db2e] It appears the needed modules are loaded: Code:
ohci1394 34628 0 BUT there is no /dev/dvd and no hd or sd devices to link /dev/dvd to. After reading a number of threads here I'm somewhat confused since they seem to indicate the dvd player/recorder 'should just work' once the system recognizes it. Any ideas on what I'm missing? Thanks |
Your dvd drive should come up as /dev/scd0. Look for something like that.
The you need to ' ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd ' Note scd stands for scsi cd. Brian1 " Google the Linux way @ http://www.google.com/linux " |
I think you might also need to load the raw1394 module as well. May not, been a while since working with firewire devices.
Check out this site for more info on ieee1394 devices. http://www.linux1394.org/ Brian1 " Google the Linux way @ http://www.google.com/linux " |
Thanks for the pointers. No luck so far.
I tried MAKEDEV scd. It ran but produced nothing. mknod scd0 b 11 0 did create the device but mounting it results in "/dev/scd0 is not a valid block device". In the past MAKEDEV would fail to create devices for hardware when I didn't have drivers configured for them so perhaps there is a driver missing. I'm stumped. |
As far as this goes results in "/dev/scd0 is not a valid block device". I believe it is not seeing the filesystem of the media you are using. Try using a regular cd and see it works. In my fstab I have addtional filesystem type. I also have ufs and udf added to /etc/filesystems. I believe I should have udf in my fstab file to see dvd media. Will work on that tommorrow. As far as using mknod it looks correct to me.
I have this in my /etc/fstab file for mounting my firewire dvd-rw. Code:
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660,ufs noauto,owner,rw 0 0 Output from dmesg Code:
ieee1394: Error parsing configrom for node 0-01:1023 Output from ' cat /proc/scsi/scsi Code:
[crusher58@lcomp58 ~]$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi Brian1 " Google the Linux way @ http://www.google.com/linux " |
It works now.
Dunno exactly what the fix was but after messing around with a number of things, none of which seemed to help I rebooted. Donnie Darko played just fine after that. Thanks for the help, Brian! -Erik |
