i have a slackware 9.1 that i want to upgrade to 10
i'm downloading the .iso images now.
i tried to find my burner by using the command
cdrecord -scanbus
nothing was found.

Code:

root@DarkStar:~# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

I tried cdrecord dev=help and it printed the following.

now i'm really lost.
i expected it to tell me the location of my drive, and now i do not think i can burn.
am i inturpreting this correct. is slackware unable to see my warm drive?
how can i fix this so i can burn my iso images?

try this.

cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus

also, make sure to add:

hd*=ide-scsi #where * is the letter of your writer (a,b,c or d usually)

to /etc/lilo.conf
If you are using a 2.6.x kernel then you don't need to.
Remember to run lilo after changing lilo.conf.

Ok this is what happened when i ran

Code:

 cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus

these are my results

Code:

I'm assuming that from this i can run the following command and it will work.

Code:

cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 foobar.iso

yes it should work now. ignore my post

whansard · 08-15-2004, 09:38 PM

it would be something like cdrecord -v dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 foobar.iso
