Hey guys... I'm new to the board and to Linux... I installed it like a week a go, I have a Red Hat 7.2 . My problem is, I have a CD Burner that came with the computer (it's a Compaq) and today, when I tried to burn a cd (music) with Gnome Roaster I couldn't because of this:

What happend? What does this error mean? How do I solve it?

LOL, talk about too much info!

Do you have SCSI emulation installed? To find out, run /sbin/lsmod and look for a line containing the word ide-scsi.

yeah I have that installed

ide-scsi 8384 0

What should i do?

Hmmm... I dunno, but it looks like cdrecord is complaining of an "illegal mode"... I never used GToaster, and frankly am not sure just how "fool-proof" it is... Are you burning a standard Audio CD (you know, playable in regular CD players/stereos)? Or are you burning a DATA CD with a bunch of MP3 files? If it's the latter, then I have no idea... If it's the former, then you may need to change the "track mode"... I suspect it should be mode2/XA for media discs (I know this is the case for VCDs, but I am unsure of audio CDs)...

Sorry if I'm not much help...

It's an Audio CD... I'll try with other cd burner software. Thanks anyways.
