 |
|
Is there a good doc on getting CD-Burners up and running under Gentoo..
I have a Sony CDRW, everything I've ever installed has found it just fine, except Gentoo, its an atapi/ide drive, I have SCSI emulation compiled into the kernel, with hdc=ide-scsi in my menu.lst file (I use grub, and yes the drive is hdc), and arson, koncd, xcdroast, all say "no valid CD-R drives found". A step by step to getting this working would be nice.
Thanks! |

You can just use to check if it's working.
please check this post to see if you compiled the kernel the right way

I get the following error upon cdrecord -scanbus:
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot
open SCSI driver.
I got the info on how to compile the kernel from that post 
Any ideas with that error? what to do? |

do you have /dev/sg0
| Quote: | | lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 36 06-03 09:05 /dev/sg0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/generic |
I also have /dev/sr0
| Quote: | lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 31 06-03 09:05 /dev/sr0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
|
check if you have these and espacially sg, because cdrecord states after scanbus, | Quote: | | using sg driver version..... |

You need 3 things compiled into your kernel:
- SCSI emulation (can be found in IDE section)
- SCSI generic (can be found in SCSI section)
- support for SCSI CD-ROM (can be found in SCSI section as well -- is just for mounting the device)
If you compile these as modules, make sure they are loaded. I built them in the kernel (not as module)
Also, I specify hdc=scsi instead of hdc=scsi-ide in grub, but I guess this is the same.
I did those things and I get the following output:
| Code: |
mountaindew root # cdrecord --scanbus
Cdrecord 1.11a23 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�rg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.23
Using libscg version 'schily-0.6'
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R PX-W2410A' '1.01' Removable CD-ROM
0,1,0 1) *
0,2,0 2) *
0,3,0 3) *
0,4,0 4) *
0,5,0 5) *
0,6,0 6) *
0,7,0 7) *
mountaindew root #
|
And this is the line from my /etc/fstab to mount my cd writer, if you should need it:
| Code: |
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user 0 0
|
Good luck!  |

I have neither of those devices...
but, I'm compiling the kernel as per instructions of the last post..
it will be done in a few minutes, we'll see what that does. |
