CD Burner isn't recognized

IceChant · 04-28-2006, 04:46 AM

I got this problem in the 2.6.15.6 kernel but in the 2.4.31 kernel it works fine, in the 2.6.15.6 k3b won't even recognize hdd that is the CD burner.

Code:

# dmesg | grep -i atapi
hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1612, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: CD-RW 52X24, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)

Code:

# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hdb4        swap             swap        defaults         0   0
/dev/hda2        /                reiserfs    defaults         1   1
/dev/hda1        /windows         ntfs        ro               1   0
/dev/hdb1        /hdb1            vfat        users,ro,umask=1000,rw,auto   1   0
/dev/hdb3        /stuff           vfat        users,ro,umask=1000,rw,auto   1   0
/dev/hdc       /mnt/dvdrom        auto        noauto,user,ro   0   0
/dev/hdd       /mnt/cdwriter      auto        noauto,user,ro   0   0
/dev/fd0         /mnt/floppy      auto        noauto,owner     0   0
devpts           /dev/pts         devpts      gid=5,mode=620   0   0
proc             /proc            proc        defaults         0   0

Code:

# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /windows type ntfs (ro)
/dev/hdb1 on /hdb1 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=1000)
/dev/hdb3 on /stuff type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=1000)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)

Code:

lilo.conf:
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
boot = /dev/hda2
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout=60
# Override dangerous defaults that rewrite the partition table:
change-rules
  reset
# VESA framebuffer console @ 1024x768x64k
vga = 791
# End LILO global section
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15.6
  root = /dev/hda2
  label = 2.6.15.6
  read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Linux bootable partition config begins
image = /boot/vmlinuz-ide-2.4.31
  root = /dev/hda2
  label = 2.4.31
  read-only
# Linux bootable partition config ends
# Windows bootable partition config begins
other = /dev/hda1
  label = Windows
  table = /dev/hda
# Windows bootable partition config ends

Some people will ignore you when you hijack a thread; others will help you; and still others will flame you. Even though you think your issue is similar or the same, the best thing is to start a new thread. This will give your issue more exposure, also.

I didn't try to hijack the thread just thought it'll be better if more problems of this subject will be under same thread for future search by other users, I was probably wrong thanks for the lighting my eyes over this.

I think that you don't need "append="hdd=ide-scsi"" with 2.6 kernels. Try leaving it out.

I only leave it there for the 2.4 kernel, does it effect ?

What does "cdrecord --scanbus" return?

IceChant · 04-28-2006, 07:09 AM

Code:

#cdrecord --scanbus

I think so. Move it to the section for the 2.4 kernel instead of having it at the top of the config file. As I said, try leaving it out, that worked for me.

Hi,

Just move the append to the 2.4 stanza in the lilo.conf file and be sure to update the lilo.

For the 2.6 kernel you can pass the append="hdd=ide-cd" for the the device. Just place the append in the 2.6 stanza within the lilo.conf file, plus update the lilo. The reason for this is that 2.6 use the new ide-cd module for ide and atapi devices.

My DVD burner works fine without that option and kernel 2.6. so that seems to be optional.

Hi,

The passing of the parameters is not always required. At times this is used to reassign the device id or force the device.

The 2.6 stock indeed uses the ide-cd for ide and atapi devices.

cdrecord doesnt' recognize mine either, i just have to use cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdx. then it works after mumbling about this "opening by devname is whatever... blabla.

It worked, thanks.
