Slackware 12.1 cannot burn anything
I am running Slackware 12.1 and for some odd reason I cannot burn anything with my dvd burner. K3b basically burns a lead in and then I get an error. I wasted like 8 disks trying to get it working in Slackware. The dvd burner is new and works perfectly with other distros. Here is the debugging output for k3b:
/dev/hdd is my DVD burner Code:
System I ran k3b setup and did the permission thing but still no luck. For some reason dmesg lists my drives twice: Code:
comhack@Venus ~]$ dmesg | grep CD I am already in the group plugdev. Here is my /etc/group: Code:
root:x:0:root Thanks |
It looks like you have a CD burner at /dev/hdc and a DVD/CD burner at /dev/hdd.
What does your /etc/fstab look like? Also, what are your symlinks pointing to in /dev: Code:
root@sundog:/dev# ls -l cd* |
Thanks for the suggestions.
To begin with I dont care about hdc since it is only a cdwriter. I only use my dvd writer at /dev/hdd. Here is my fstab: Code:
/dev/sda4 swap swap defaults 0 0 Code:
[root@Venus comhack]# ls -l cd* Thanks |

Oops
Code:
[root@Venus dev]# ls -l dvd* |
Mentioned IO error, CRC, Ultra DMA
Is DMA turned on to the drive? I don't know that much about it but I've a Slack 11 box with DVD burner (in it, I do have DMA turned on) forget how I did it like via rc.local or what I did to get DMA=on. It burns DVD's great. http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=...er&btnG=Search -- Alan. |
Yes DMA is turned on. The command to turn it on is:
Code:
su -c 'hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdx' |
Are the burners IDE or SATA drives?
Good luck. ;-) |
Both drives are IDE.
Thanks |
While googling, I found the following statement:

You might want to try making the DVD burner the master drive (hdc) and the other CD burner the slave (hdd). If this does not appeal to you for any reason, you might try implicitly defining each drive in fstab rather than leaving the line commented for hal and udev to sort out. Code:
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0 |
Well that didnt work so I am gonna unplug the one drive since I do not use it and reinstall. I have my home on a different partition so I wont lose anything.
Thanks |
You should not have to reinstall for swapping out a dvd drive - just change the jumpers and edit fstab.
Actually, you would not even need to do that if the cdrom lines are still commented. Steve |
Well I unhooked the cd-burner and changed the jumers and reinstalled. Now the burner works just fine.
Thanks for all the help |
