 |
|
Hey,
when I upgraded to 2.6 I read that scsi emulation wasn't needed anymore, so I ditched it. I use xcdroast and that wouldn't write anymore, so today I decided to reinsert scsi cdrom & generic support into my kernel (2.6.3-gentoo-r1), but I still can't write cd's. Xcdroast just says there's no medium in the drive.
Cdrecord gives the following:
| Code: | cdrecord dev="1,0,0" speed=16 driveropts=burnfree /usr/share/media/b5s1e01-01.iso
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
scsidev: '1,0,0'
scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/sg*'. 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'.
|
I'm not sure about the "1,0,0", that's what xcdroast is saying about my writer. I don't have a /dev/sg either.
dmesg | grep CD gives me
| Code: | hdc: LITE-ON LTR-16102B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-106S 011, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
|
I don't have a /dev/hdc either, but I do have a /dev/hdd.
I've searched the internet and the forum, but nowhere I could find a clear guide on how to enable atapi writing (or fix my problem to get back to scsi writing) |

I think 2.6.3 is bugged about scsi emulation, but I'm not sure... maybe try with 2.6.4-rc1  |

| Run xcdroast as root, go to devices and select "manually add device". Add your IDE cd writer as "/dev/hdc" (or hdd depending on your setup). |

| Thanks for the reply, I was able to add my dvd reader with /dev/hdd, but xcdroast couldn't find my cdwriter with /dev/hdc, although dmesg says it should be on hdc. What else can be wrong? |

make sure that you don't have a parameter like: hdc=ide-scsi in your /boot/grub/grub.conf for your current kernel. If that's the case, just remove it and reboot again.
If you're still having problems run:
and post the results. |

| Yes I have that option in my lilo. So adding the device manually in xcdroast is the atapi way and I HAVE to remove the scsi emulation for this? Can't reboot right now I'm ripping a dvd, but I'll try it as soon as I can and hope it will work, I'll post the results. Thanks for the help. |

| Yes, you need to remove that option as you won't use ide-scsi emulation any more. |
