CD burning is so confusing!
all i gotta say is you people and your freaking (cdrecord) scsi's! Im now more confused than ever, In freebsd of course you just use the ide tool burncd, hehe
I have IDE drives.
as root me do the cdrcord -scanbus gets this output.
bash-2.05a# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.11a34 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 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.
I just love that last message. Somehow it reminds me of MS windows 
I did put scsi CD support and SCSI Emulation into my kernel as well as IDE support. I can mount both of my drives and play DVD's on my system with ogle. Also my Grun menu.lst has been appended with the hdc=ide-scsi lines.
what is ide-scsi? is it a module? a device? its not on my system even with the above things in my kernel.
Hint: I am lost, very lost, alot of google search web docs, mention old kernels or /etc/init.d/rc.local witch doesnt exist on my system. Alot of things dont exist on my system

ok, lets start from the top:
in kernel config:
| Code: |
IDE/ATA etc etc ->->
<*>SCSI Emulation support
SCSI Support ->
<*>SCSI Support
<*>SCSI CDROM support
<*>SCSI generic support
No scsi low level drivers
|
If you've got only 1 cdrom drive you can leave ide cdrom support out, but you might as well leave it in
in your /boot/grub/menu.lst:
| Code: | | kernel /boot/bzImage <other kernel params here> hdc=scsi |
(if hdc is your burner)
change your /etc/devfsd.conf:
| Code: |
# Give the cdrw group write permissions to /dev/sg0
# This is done to have non root user use the burner (scan the scsi bus)
REGISTER ^scsi/host.*/bus.*/target.*/lun.*/generic PERMISSIONS root.c$
....
# Create /dev/cdrw for the first cdrom on the scsi bus
# (change 'sr0' to suite your setup)
LOOKUP ^cdrw$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink sr0 cdrw
REGISTER ^sr0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrw
UNREGISTER ^sr0$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrw
|
reboot, and check your dmesg for something like:
| Code: |
hda: 117231408 sectors (60022 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=7297/255/63
hdb: 3173184 sectors (1625 MB) w/128KiB Cache, CHS=787/64/63
hdc: ATAPI 32X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12
ide-cd: passing drive hdd to ide-scsi emulation.
........
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
Vendor: SAMSUNG Model: CD-R/RW SW-216B Rev: Q001
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
|
if its similar to the above (ie no error msgs) try cdrecord -scanbus again

I agree with you! Setting up the cdrw burner is very confusing. If it were not for the WONDERFUL people on the forums and "Curious" in particular I would still be crying today.
I have only one slight correction in regard to your /boot/grub/menu.lst it should be hdc=ide-scsi (asssuming hdc is your cdrw)
I also disabled ide cdrom support in my kernel since I only have this one cd device. And I compiled the ide-scsi support in the kernel rather than making it a module.
That is all I have to add....
I hope that helps.

I was going to comment on this, but I wasn't completely sure. I thought I'd read a post that suggested either method worked.

i just compiled in scsi emulation stuff in kernel, added hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi (dvd and cdrw), and rebooted 
my new drives could be used as /dev/sg0 resp. /dev/sg1 in grub for ripping the audio cds.
cdrecord -scanbus shows both drives.
and i am burning with:
cdrecord -dev 0,1,0 etc
no fuss at all really  |
