Can't find my CD-Burner using K3B in SuSE 9.0
 
Hi...

I'm trying to configure my K3B to burn CD's.

When I go in Options and then in Devices the only cd-rom found is the normal one.
I saw something about adding support to SCSI in kernel but I don't know which stuff I need to put there... And another thing, I would like also to burn mp3 directly, cos I saw also that only ogg files are supported.

How do I do this two things ?

Thanks a lot

You need to recompile your kernel. Or maybe if you are using the stock Suse kernel just try loading the module:
Code:
modprobe ide-scsi
If this gives you an error then you need to recompile. Make sure you include:
Code:
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> ATA, IDE and ATAPI block devices -> SCSI emulation support [y] or [m]
SCSI support -> SCSI support [y] or [m]
SCSI support -> SCSI cdrom support [y] or [m]
SCSI support -> SCSI generic support [y] or [m]
Then you need to provide hdx=ide-scsi as a boot time kernel parameter in either lilo or grub .conf where hdx is your burner.

I cant get it working still
 
i have tried constantly to get this to work

i have suse 9.0

i went into YAST and tried to change grub in the bootloader part but nothing that i append or type in stays

i dont know how to recompile my kernal but i did go to the editor for /etc/sysconfig that has a link to the kernal and i added the code below to the ide devices under dma mode

i really dont understand the complete step by step process to make my k3b work and i would love to know. i have had suse 9.0 for 2 weeks now and i hate the GAIM and I love it because it messes up on me so bad and yet it works for aim. when i log in a million pops says cannot addt his friend and i have to close them all i have gaim .67 and i cannot upgrade to .79 because i dont see a RPM for suse and i have had problems compiling the source myself

haha oh yes

i guess i dont have to figures this shiiiiiiiiit out

i just downloaded the .11.12 version for suse on www.k3b.org and it works PERFECTLY

OK this is for anyone that visits this page

all of the above has not worked! except my method! ok!

but i just found the best resource for all you SUSE Linux users

you can download almost any self installing RPM and ugrade your suse linux at this site below

The upgrade of K3b does not need scsi emulation turned on it works perfecto

Perhaps with a 2.6.x kernel, but I still stipulate you need SCSI emulation in your kernel to burn a cd using an IDE burner with a 2.4.* kernel.
