Problems burning CDs with kernel 2.6.5

Hell255 · 05-28-2004, 12:08 PM

Hello,

here the facts:
i have a MITSUMI CDR-4802TE 4x, ATAPI, cd writer...
Debian sarge with 2.6.5
The writer is on the compatibility list of cdrecord. I didnt install any SCSI emulation, cause
i read somewhere that the new kernel doesnt need this.

I am a total newbie on burning CDs with linux. So i installed xcdroaster,tried to burn a CD but it didnt work. So i tried the command line version with:

cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc /tmp/track-01.img

here is the log file:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I haven't ever burned discs under the 2.6 kernel however the line "is not unrestricted" hints to me that the disc has already had something burned to it and is a single write disc. As another option I think cdrecord likes the drive specified as dev=ATAPI:0,1,0 or similar when burning to ATAPI drives. The scsi errors might indicate that it was still treating it as a SCSI device. Just a few thoughts on the problem.

Hell255 · 05-28-2004, 02:11 PM

i just burned the cd with nero..worked perfectly... any other clues?

BinaryDigit01 · 05-28-2004, 05:17 PM

I think the problem is that there's already data on the CD (4 MB) and that you didn't make it a multi-session CD, so you can't write on it again. Did you try burning on an empty CD? If so, did it give you the same problems?

Here's the line that makes me believe that you've already burned data on this CD:
'cdrecord: Cannot open new session.'

Of course, if you made it a multi-session CD using Nero or any other Windows-based CD-writing program and then want to add another session, I'm not sure how cdrecord will handle it or if it can.

As to the line:
cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hdc /tmp/track-01.img
I think that's okay. Of course, if you know the speed, put it yourself instead of making cdrecord try to determine it.

I found the following information (off http://www.freebsddiary.org/cdrecord-multi.php) if you want to use mkisofs and cdrecord for multi-session writing:

Code:

"Here are the steps I used:

   1. Burn the first ISO image:
      mkisofs -J -L -R -o freshportsbackup.raw freshports.backup.2000.12.*
   2. Record that image using the multi and data flags:
      cdrecord -v -multi -data speed=12 dev=0,5,0 freshports.raw

      Remember you may want to should adjust speed to suit your CD drive
   3. Create the second image:
         1. Locate the start of the free space on the CD:

            # cdrecord -msinfo dev=0,5,0
            0,12639
         2. Create the second image using the starting location and specify the CD write device:

            mkisofs -J -L -R -o freshportsbackup.raw -M /dev/cd0a -C 0,12639 freshports.backup.2000.12.*

            Note: /dev/cd0a is my CD writer.
            Note: 0,12639 is obtained during step 3a.
   4. Burn the second ISO image:

      cdrecord -v -multi -data speed=12 dev=0,5,0 freshportsbackup.raw

      Remember you may want to should adjust speed to suit your CD drive.

If you forget which device is your cdwrite, look in /etc/fstab where you should see something like this:

    $ grep cd /etc/fstab
    /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
"

"This example will show how I first burned some FreshPorts backups and then a cvs repository.  I have snipped some bits from the output.

Create the first ISO:

    # mkisofs -J -L -R -o freshports.raw mycvs.2000.12.31.tgz

Burning with K3b on 2.6 kernel works perfectly. I've had problems with Xcdroast.

Hell255 · 05-29-2004, 12:22 PM

ok i ll try this next monday on my linux pc @ home.. thanks for your suggestion

netcrawl · 05-29-2004, 12:32 PM

I've been using xcdroast on kernels 2.4.x thru 2.6.6 and it works seamlessly...

hm crap. its still not working.

when i use "cdrecord -data -speed=4 -tao -v -dev ATAPI:/dev/hdd test.iso" the firs time i get this:
