CD-Burner

silmaril8n · 11-09-2004, 01:49 PM

I've read through several posts and cannot quite my cd-burner to work yet. I'll post some of the outputs that may help:

I've already added the ' append="hdd=ide-scsi" ' to /etc/lilo.conf.

I've made a symlink /dev/cd-rw -> /dev/scd0

When I try and mount the drive it outputs:

Quote:

root@arwen:/dev# mount /mnt/cd-rw
mount: /dev/cd-rw is not a valid block device

Is something simple missing? Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks for reading!

Which kernel are you running. The 2.6 series kernels don't require the "hdd=ide-scsi" appended in order to work correctly. But looking at the output of "cdrecord -scanbus", it doesn't look like the drive is even being recognized as a SCSI device. Try passing in the ATAPI parameter to see if it's recognized as a connected device. So...

cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus

I'm running the 2.4.22 Kernel on Slackware 9.1 system.

You definitely need the 'hdd=ide-scsi' then.

Are you sure that the device in question really is /dev/scd0? When I was running Slack 9.1 (or more appropriately, 2.4.22), my CD-RW drive was /dev/sr0. Also, what is in your /etc/fstab file?

I'll assume you've actually created the directory /mnt/cd-rw for your CDRW drive. Try mounting a data CD using something like...

mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cd-rw

or

mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cd-rw

depending on which is the actual correct device inside /dev.

silmaril8n · 11-10-2004, 10:29 AM

Thanks for your replies!

Well - I'm not exactly sure which one it is so I tried to mount both and used both variations in /etc/fstab

Quote:

mount: /dev/scd0 is not a valid block device
root@arwen:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cd-rw
mount: /dev/sr0 is not a valid block device

/etc/fstab

* Note: /dev/sr0 previously was /dev/cd-rw which is a symlink to /dev/scd0.

silmaril8n · 11-10-2004, 10:30 AM

Oh yeah - there is also a directory in /mnt/cd-rw for the burner as well!

Thanks

silmaril8n · 11-10-2004, 10:34 AM

Just as an extra thought since my burner wasn't showing up as SCSI I tried this:

Quote:

root@arwen:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cd-rw
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only

Worked perfectly... but I won't be able to burn CD's like this right?

Cedrik · 11-10-2004, 11:45 AM

The mount command and those to burn CDs are different.

try :
cdrecord -v -dummy dev=1,0,0 speed=8 <iso image>

silmaril8n · 11-10-2004, 12:16 PM

What I mean was that I won't be able to burn CD's while the drive is loaded as ATAPI and not SCSI using the 2.4.22 kernel.

Tino27 · 11-10-2004, 12:23 PM

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I am wrong, but I believe that you will use both ATAPI and SCSI emulation with the device -- definitely ATAPI to read a CD, and then the SCSI emulation when you want to burn a CD.

Plus, I think I may need to make the distinction that a blank CD is like an audio CD -- you cannot mount it. A medium can only be mounted if it has a valid filesystem already on it. So, to burn a new CD, either use a pretty interface such as K3B or from the command line using cdrecord as Cedrik suggested. Once the CD has been created, then you should be able to mount it.

silmaril8n · 11-10-2004, 01:06 PM

Ok so it seems that I have enough information to get this thing working now. I'm looking through past posts and Google but I only find different commands for burning ISO's and music.

It is possible to just burn a .tgz file or the contents of a folder right?

Synapd · 12-09-2004, 02:07 AM

Use mkisofs to make an iso filesystem with the iso9660 standard ..
mkisofs -o out.iso . ( or what ever directory )
then you can burn that iso .. ( great for backups )

ringwraith · 12-09-2004, 06:50 AM

From dmesg, it doesn't look like you are attaching the ide-scsi driver. I am wondering if you have the append too late in the conf file. This should be the first uncommented line in your /etc/lilo.conf
