I have a LITE-ON 52x CD Burner. I followed a CD-R how-to in the Tips and Tricks section.

Here's the output of cdrecord -scanbus:
Code:
root # cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 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'.

Now, here's the output of cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus:
Code:
root # cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
scsidev: 'ATAPI'
devname: 'ATAPI'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
Warning: The related libscg interface code is in pre alpha.
Warning: There may be fatal problems.
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'LITE-ON ' 'LTR-52246S      ' '6S0C' Removable CD-ROM
        0,1,0     1) *
        0,2,0     2) *
        0,3,0     3) *
        0,4,0     4) *
        0,5,0     5) *
        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *

Now, I can't get it to burn. When I try cdrecord dev=0,0,0 /my/iso/is/here.iso, I get:
Code:
root # cdrecord dev=0,0,0 /my/iso/is/here.iso
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
scsidev: '0,0,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg0'. 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'.

Any ideas? Maybe I just suck at using cdrecord, as it is my first time using it.

cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 or cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom , or whatever your CD-ROM device is.

Have you tried

Code:
 # modprobe ide-scsi



I've been struggling with the same problem when I remembered that you need that module...do a

Code:
 # echo ide-scsi >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.(your series)


and you have it automatically loaded at every boot.

Hope it helps!

Well I tried to modprobe ide-scsi but it wasn't found. Maybe I built it into my kernel?

I'll have to try the dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 when I get home tonight. Hopefully it works, because I'd love to be able to burn CD's again.

Wow, thanks alot guys. I got it to burn a bootable Mini-CD the first time I tried with dev=ATAPI:0,0,0.

Thanks so much. Now I can get IPCop on my firewall computer tomorrow night.

I'm glad you managed to make it work!

Anyway, if you want to use your burner with any frontend without problems, you have to compile the ide-scsi module (it can only be compiled as that) and load it at bootup as I've written before. Some frontends don't allow for specifying the device. They will find it automagically if it is seen as scsi...

Just an advice, anyway!

Good luck!
