cd-burning
 

i am trying to burn redhat isos on my slackware machine, i am using gtoaster and when i hit record i get this error

scsidev: '0,0'
scsi: 1 target: 2 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such file or directory: Cannot open '/dev/sg**
Cannot open SCSI driver

please help me

If you're using the bare.i kernel that comes with slackware then it does not come with SCSI support enabled, and it seems like gtoaster is trying to access your burner using SCSI emulation.

Not sure about fixes, but I would check the gtoaster documentation and see if there is a way to disable SCSI emulation and force it to use IDE. I personally use X-CDRoast, and it works fine without SCSI emulation.

slight

when i try to use x-cdroast it says superuser has not used it and when i try to use it as superuser it wont let me use it

this is the error i get when i try to use xcdroast and cdrecord is installed

root@garrett:/home/garrett# xcdroast

** WARNING **: No /usr/local/bin/cdrecord installed


** WARNING **: (Invalid lib-directory? Check -l option)

sounds like xcdroast is looking for the cdrecord executable in /usr/local/bin

locate the cdrecord file:

locate cdrecord

and then make a link to /usr/local/bin

ln -s /path/to/cdrecord /usr/local/bin/cdrecord

and see if that does the trick.

alright i fixex the xcdroast but it says that it cant enable the SCSI emulator and you said ealrly that it wasnt in the kernel for slackware, so how can i obtain a kernel iwht it or how to put it in thanks
