 Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2004 9:31 pm Post subject: CD / DVD burner without SCSI |
 |
|
I have kernel 2.4.25 (nVidia video) and cdrtools 2.01_alpha28-r1, but I have no SCSI - no SCSI hardware, and no SCSI software built.
I have googled and yahooed for two days for a definitive description of the correct way to configure and use cdrtools version 2 and kernel 2.4 so that I can burn CDs and DVDs, but have found nothing current.
Has anyone successfully configured a CD / DVD burner for kernel 2.4 with cdrtools 2 hopefully without SCSI? FWIW, I really need to burn data files only. |

If you are gonna use X i can advise xcdroast, that is a graphical interface to cdrtools which has some options for burning simply over ATAPI instead of using SCSI-emulation.
Try it  |

Isnt it an requirement to use scsi-emulation in the 2.4.x-kernels? module called "ide-scsi" wich you append at boot to get your cd/dvd-burner working.
Its in the 2.6.x-tree that scsi-emulation is no longer needed as you can use ide-cd |

With cdrtools-2, ATAPI burning works with kernel 2.4, so it's no longer a requirement to add scsi emulation. Cdrtools-2.x is alpha, but I (myself) haven't had any problems burning cd-r's/cdrw's. |

ah so you just skip the part with append in lilo.conf then? would that mean I could remove ide-cd when using the 2.6.x-kernel to? |

Yeah, if you want to use the atapi method then you'll want to disable scsi emulation in lilo, modules.autoload, and in the kernel (optional). Also, leave ide-cd enabled and you may want to edit /etc/fstab and /etc/devfsd.conf so they point to your cdrom0 and cdrom1 drive. Then, add the scsi_id (from cdrecord) to whatever app you're using.
There is a how-to somewhere in tips & tricks that explains this better. |
