 |
|
Hi,
I want to burn a few (s)vcds but it seems xcdroast isn't able to handle the bin/cue files correctly. Either that, or I'm missing something there.
I tried cdrdao, but that seems to require scsi emulation and a recompile of the kernel (modprobe ide-scsi is ok, pg is not).
So, any other tools out there able to help me, I don't have kde installed btw?
Thanks. |

brosen,
If you use a 2.4 kernel, you need scsi emulation for CD burning. ATAPI may work for you but its flaky.
Under 2.6, ATAPI burnings is supposed to be preferred. For me, it breaks badly unless I use a burn-proof drive, so I've stuck with SCSI emulation.
There is really only one CD burning tool but it has many pretty front ends.

NeddySeagoon,
thanks for the help. I am running a 2.4, so I guess it's back to recompiling the kernel. Hopefully it'll speed up burning too which is very slow. |

brosen,
If you already use modules, you can choose the new modules you need and do | Code: | make modules
make modules_install |
No need to do the whole kernel. You can only add modules this way. If you say 'Y' rather than 'M' you need to do the whole make dep ... install ... reboot thing.
With modules, they will either be loaded 'on the fly' or with modprobe.
You need the following modules (use lsmod to check):-
| Code: | sr_mod
scsi_mod
ide_scsi
sg
sd_mod |
and you need to edit your kernel command line to add where hdX is your burner.
You will need to reboot once for this to take effect.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions, NeddySeagoon.
Of course, I'd already gone and done a complete recompile of the kernel before I saw you latest post after I found a guide in the tips and tricks section of the forum.
Everything is working fine now thanks, and I get decent speeds burning now too.
Thanks again  |
