Season Greetings,
Slackware 10, Kernel 2.4.26
I got myself an Asus Atapi CD-RW-Drive and I am not sure if this was the right
choice for Linux. I was able to make it work following the instruction of the
program xcdroast, however, some things seem strange.
I always get error messages telling not to use atapi instead scsi.
Are you using 'SCSI emulation' instead of ATAPI?
I had a CD with picture files on. When I copied them to the HD I can't open
them and copying back to the CD I can't open them as well any longer. In fact
I can not mount the CD anymore. Only xcdroast can.
$ mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: Not a directory
Trying too boot Knoppix 3.4 from the CD I get only a blank screen. Booting
from CD and then switching to HD, Knoppix works alright.
It seems that xcdroast can only write .wav and .iso files?????
Questions:
Is there a better CD-RW-Drive for Linux than Asus? The shop is willing to
exxchange.
Are there better programs than xcdroast to R+W and which?
Thanks & regards
Dear Peter H.:
During instalation of Slackware, it offers SCSI emulation and places
the statement in the first (executed) line of lilo.conf. Here is mine:
head -n 9 /etc/lilo.conf
# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
boot = /dev/hdb2
message = /boot/boot_message.txt
prompt
timeout = 99
HTH, Chuck
