I've been having some problems getting cdrecord to work on my thinkpad. http://www.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/~schmidtm/ibm/index.php says: "To burn CDs with cdrecord don't forget to enable atapicam during kernel configuration."
In his kernel config, he used this with "device atapicd", so I ran: [amon-re /root] cat /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC | grep atapicd device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives In the past (on Linux), I had always used 'cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom', so I initially tried 'cdrecord dev=/dev/acd0', but I learned from 'cdrecord dev=help' that apparently "open via UNIX device" is not supported. "SCSI Bus scanning" is supposed to be supported, but when I run 'cdrecord -scanbus', it gives: [amon-re /root] cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (i386-unknown-freebsd6.1) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: Error 0. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. (it would be nice if cdrecord -scanbus didn't tell me to run it again... but that's a different issue) Here is some (hopefully) relevant information about my system: [amon-re /root] uname -a FreeBSD amon-re 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Feb 11 21:55:30 MST 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 [amon-re /root] sysctl -a | grep -i cd kern.cam.cd.changer.min_busy_seconds: 5 kern.cam.cd.changer.max_busy_seconds: 15 allocdirect 4 1K - 79793 128 acd_driver 1 2K - 1 2048 cdev 31 4K - 31 128 debug.sizeof.cdev: 184 debug.sizeof.cdev_priv: 216 dev.acpi_ec.0.%desc: Embedded Controller: GPE 0x1c, ECDT dev.cbb.0.%location: slot=0 function=0 handle=\_SB_.PCI0.PCI1.CDBS dev.acd.0.%desc: MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-822S/1.61 dev.acd.0.%driver: acd dev.acd.0.%parent: ata1 [amon-re /root] dmesg | grep -i cd acpi_ec0: <Embedded Controller: GPE 0x1c, ECDT> port 0x62,0x66 on acpi0 acd0: DVDR <MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-822S/1.61> at ata1-master UDMA33 I'd appreciate any help that anyone can provide. I'm somewhat stumped, and I'm not seeing much on google regarding this problem.
