What is that stand for?
iam trying to burn a cd with cdrecord but it seems not to fing my cd burner.
How can i be sure i am putting in the correct parameter?
thks

just run "cdrecord -scanbus" to show what you want

i tried that and it doesn't work...
i says:
No such file or dir. Cannot open '/dev/pg*' Cannot open scsi driver.

This is an IDE unit!

you haven't got the scsi drivers loaded then... which of course you need for cd burning. check the cd-burning howto and this site for a many questions about ide-scsi emulation

i tink you forgot to join the link... as you said

It is strange that it does work with x-cd-roast.

you said it twice and i still have no idea what you mean...

xcdroast have managed to write direct IDE burning into their ap itself, which is neat. shame it's such a horrible application otherwise

sorry for the double...

here i read this post:http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...scsi+emulation

looking at that:
Nah, it is not that, try this in /usr/src/linux
edit Makefile - you'll see on the top something like

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 19
EXTRAVERSION = idescsi

for mypart, i have:
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 4
SUBLEVEL = 20
EXTRAVERSION = -18.9custom

can i replace -18.9 custom with idescsi without causing damage?

try it, and if your "scared" to do it, just either
A) remember what was written there for you can replace it
or....
B) make a backup file
also make sure that the file:
/lib/modules/2.4.19//kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o
exists..

ok but i don't understand that part:
save it, and recompile the kernel again, make damn sure that SCSI emulation is compiled as module, ide-scsi as module, ide-cdrom builtin, scsi builtin, etc

you may not understand that because they are talking about recompiling the kernel which is not what your talking about....oringinally in that post the d00d that was having the problem, had recompiled his kernel and specified in the process of recompiling that he wanted the scsi emulation support...so when these guys where helping him, they told him to make some changes to certain files and recompile the kernel Again....thats why that was in the list of steps shown on that page....
so if you want to know what all these things mean, then i would suggest you go read an articale on recompiling the kernel, and i think its in the General Fourm, can't really remember but i am almost positive but there is a sticky thread there posted by again i think its trickykid, showing the steps to recompiling a kernel (on slackware) but if you look at it, its pretty well the same for the steps you will take....there may be a couple things that you may have to look into, but if you look at that thread and get the idea about it, and have a kernel recompiling HOWTO i am sure you'll get the idea..

hrmm i maybe blind or possibly in the wrong fourm, but i can't see it there "anymore" but search the thread and i am sure you'll find the thread i am talking about.

No, no... i just want to get that damn thing going for now!
i have an RH9, not slack.

do you mean that i don't have to do nothing after changing the makefile?
just ./makefile
