I'm trying to use cdrecord with a new ide cdrw. I went through the ide-scsi howto I found and I now get the following lines in dmesg, and I can mount the drive as /dev/sr0.
--dmesg SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: OPTORITE Model: CD-RW CW4802 Rev: 150E Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 --dmesg But when I try to run "cdrecord -scanbus" as root, I get: cdrecord: Read-only file system. Cannot open '/dev/pg0'. 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'. On my other box with the dead scsi cd burner, I notice it opens /dev/sg0 and in the dev=help option, I noticed that pg is related to parallel port burners. Is cdrecord trying to read a parallel port drive? If so how can I get it to change? Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
