Hi
I got a DVD reader and a cd burner
So to access de DVD reader I just
mount /cdrom
If i take off the DVD reader, i can mount the cd burner by
mount /cdrom
So, now, i plugged the two devices.
So when i
mount /cdrom
It mounts my DVD reader: ok, no prob
It gets more complicated to mount the cd burner
First, it's no more recognised by cdrecord
cdrecord-scanbus
neoy2k# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a19 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord.mmap: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord.mmap: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord.mmap: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
cdrecord.mmap: Also make sure that you have loaded the sg driver and the driver for
cdrecord.mmap: SCSI hardware, eg. ide-scsi if you run IDE/ATAPI drives over
cdrecord.mmap: ide-scsi emulation. Read /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup!
I try to mount it
neoy2k# mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom2
mount: Aucun medium trouvé (No medium found)
It's really a stupid question but why doesn't it works?
Ok you should be able to mount the burner using /dev/hdd
but in order to use cdrecord you need to enable ide-scsi emulation, append kernel parameter "hdd=ide-scsi" to grub/lilo config file
After it's enabled you need to mount /dev/sr0 for the burner instead, because its now a scsi device.
Ooooooh!: I'm so stupid!
hdD not hdC! i'm really stupid!
Ok for that point.
BUT
Cd burning (eroaster or k3b) don't find the cd burner
ide-scsi is loaded, and it worked when the cd burner was single.
But it doesn't works now...
any idea?
Did you change lilo/grub.conf/menu.lst so that its "hdd=ide-scsi" not "hdc=ide-scsi"?
try "dmesg | grep scsi" to see if it is enabled on the right device.
under the image= section of your kernel
add:
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
if there's already something in the append option then add a space and add hdd=ide-scsi
close it with double quotes
don't forget to run lilo again
hope this helps
Hmm... thx. But... the problem seems to come from something else.
Why?
I tried DVD master / Recorder Slave - DVD salve / Recorder master
The problem was the same.
I plugged the Recorder single, so it should have worked (it worked before)... and the problem is already the same!
Don't know from what does that problem comes!
The only thing I made before it stops working was setting up iptables...
