CD-RW install/setup/scsi issue with k3b/xcdroast and kernel compile probs

THANK YOU!

I can burn data cds from a terminal, but I haven't tried audio yet. I'll still need the gui to work though. k3b doesn't finish writing to disk as there's no room somehow and xcdroast won't even open because /tmp is too full (though it's not). I'm going to reinstall, then try it all again and see what's up. Thanks again for your help. I'll keep you posted.

Great! At least you now know that your hardware side is working.

I never had much patience with the gui aps for burning when they first came out but my needs were simple. Those two commands copied music cd's installation cd's for ms programs and linux iso's every now and then I wanted to burn the contents of a directory or two.

Command line always did the job and eventually I made a script which automated it a bit but it was still command line.

Don't even know if the gui aps have gotten better or not.

After re-installing Slack 9.1 (to get it back to a good working system again), I'm now able to burn using X-CD-Roast as well as command line both data and audio CDs. Thanks to everyone who helped.

BTW, after re-installing, I set it up so my cd-rom was ATAPI and only my LG burner was scsi emulated. I don't know if this was the root of the problem, but it works fine like that. So:

/dev/hdc still is ATAPI
/dev/hdd is now /dev/sr0

Hope this helps others out there.
