Hello
I have read heaps on cdrw as i am trying too get my cdrw too burn
I can read cds with it just not burn aswell i have a dvdrom too and i got that too work so now i can watch dvds on my computer.
when i start K3B i get this

No support for ATAPI with cdrdao
You will not be able to use all your reading devices as copy sources since there is at least one not configured to use SCSI emulation and your system does not support ATAPI with cdrdao.
Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all writer devices. This way you won't have any problems.

I have done all the times that you mean too but still on go ( i think i have done it all )
I have put hdc=ide-scsi in grub
Kernel has scsi emulation in it
I am running kernel-2.4.23
When i start k3b setup it shows my cdrw but i just can not burn with it
Please help i am going mad trying too get it too work

module ide-scsi loaded?

If you have a seperate CD-ROM, ie. a CD-ROM and a CD-RW, you can ignore that error. I have that setup seperate CD-ROM, CD-RW and get the same message an startup of K3B but my CD-RW works just fine. Also make sure that you have SCSI emeulation, SCSI Generic Support, and SCSI CD-ROM enabled in your kernel. Also make sure that the ide-scsi module is loading. I had to add it to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 and make sure you have hdX=ide-scsi (X being b,c,d,whatever) on your kernel line in grub ( If you use grub ).

This is taken from the old Installation Guide part 16. Its for a 2.4 kernel but can be applied to a 2.6 kernel.

thanx for you help but i fix it
i add hdd=ide-scsi aswell as hdc=ide-scsi in my grub.conf so now it burns cd and i can still watch dvds on the dvdrom.
i still do not no why i had tooo do that but it works now
because i have hdc as my cdrw and hdd as my dvdrom

hi there,

the latest cdrdao supports atapi burning. the problem is, that k3b does not actually look at the capability of atapi burning with cdrdao. it just looks at the version of cdrdao and in his database k3b has the information that there is no cdrdao version that can do atapi burning.
so you have two possibilities. on bugs.gentoo.org there is a cdrdao cvs ebuild which native supports atapi burning (the latest version in the portage tree only can do atapi burning because the ebuild do some patches for you). the other possibility is to change the version of cdrdao with a hex editor (search the forums a little bit, there is a guy who did this already and he describes how). if you do one of the two things, you won't get any messages anymore when starting k3b.

greets,
hulk

ps: and of course, atapi burning works great with k3b after that
