[expert] CD burner problem
Whenever I try to set up gcombust (rwxr-xr-x) or x-cd-roast, all files in the list show as 0 bytes (even though some files are over 1MB) so nothing gets burned. I have the appropriate privaledges. cdrecord (rwxr-xr-x) works from the command line. What is causing my problem? Maybe I should try uninstalling and reinstalling cdrecord and/or gcombust?

But on the other hand, ide-cd is of no use if ide-scsi emulation is loaded. Just dropping the module (ide-cd) will still allow you to do everything with your ide cd burner - and according to Jörg Schilling (author of cdrecord) ide-scsi allows you to do more things than ide-cd. ide-cd is simply never needed.

Re: [expert] CD Burner
No. Sorry, I didn't read ALL of the post. Adding the line to /etc/conf.modules forces the kernel to use the ide-scsi drivers for the device, but does not mount the device as a file system. Normally there is no reason (AFAIK) to have both devices scsi, so you would leave the ATAPI support in, and get it to drive the cdrom that way. In the end, any device that holds a filesystem (network, removable, local) needs to have the file system mounted. You should have two directories in /mnt (normally cdrom and cdrom2, but you can make cdrw or whatever you like) each with their own entry in /etc/fstab. btw, ide-scsi IS in the mandrake default kernels, I only use ditribution-standard kernels on my home machine since I reinstall it quite often to check different distros out, and since it multiboots to NT and 98, I don't have enough space to keep kernel source lying around. As I was saying, I have a CD-RW on this machine, and Mandrake 7.1 picks it up during install and it works immediately, Redhat requires you to add the line to /etc/conf.modules, and adding the drive after Mandrake 7.1 installation would also require this.

Re: [expert] CD Burner
MAndrake comes with ide-scsi support compiled in the kernel. Add 'append="hdx=ide-scsi"' to your /etc/lilo.conf and run 'lilo -v' or to your /boot/grub/menu.lst. If you want to compile your own kernel, don't take out ATAPI support !

Thanks.. I had to replace my cd-rom with the burner, instead of adding the burner.. I would have liked to do this, but I have 2 HD's in the machine that take hda and hdb. I also have an internal zip that I don't want to part with for work purposes.. Maybe when I get a bigger HD someday I can add my cd rom back for copy purposes.

Re: [expert] CD burner Howto..
Civileme, Are you saying that: alias block-major-11 ide-scsi post-install modprobe ide-scsi [note the correct spelling of post-install ] in /etc/conf.modules can effectively replace my suggested modprobe ide-scsi modprobe sg in /etc/rc.d/rc.local? I suspect one still needs the lilo.conf append to indicate which ide interface is to be treated as scsi emulation. Then there arises the question of shifting the modprobes for all those ipchains masquerading filters to invoke from /etc/conf.modules. How would that be done?

Re: [expert] CD burner Howto..
Alan, Assuming L-M 7.1 and the new burner is an ATAPI IDE device, as root you must set up hd?=ide-scsi in your lilo.conf stanza (then run lilo) as well as place modprobe ide-scsi modprobe sg at the end of your /etc/rc.d/rc.local. After reboot from scratch, you can then access the cd-reader part as /dev/sr0, and cdrecord -scanbus should find your cd-writer part.

Mandrake's web-site has a great tutorial on getting u're IDE CD to run under 7.0.. follow that and things will be fine. (u need to set u're IDE cd as a SCSI).

Any advice is welcome. > > Alan Not sure Alan, but it sounds like you're in a situation similar to the one I found myself in a month or so ago. I had 7.1 installed, it picked up my Ricoh 7040 and had it fully functional, along with a BCD CDrom as master on the second IDE. BUT then the Ricoh died a little later. Sent it back and gotta Plex 8432. Problem I faced, was the Ricoh would only install as slave, when I got the Plex I made it master (2nd IDE, the BCD 40x CDrom is still on this IDE, but as slave). Anyway, to make a long story short, after fsck'in around tryin to delete/re-create the links to 'cdrom' and 'cdrom2', I just stuck the 7.1 install CD back in, booted from it, chose upgrade, and let it fix all that @#$!^ stuff. Sure'nuff, on the fresh reboot, I now have a fully functional Plex as master, BCD as slave. Masha danki Mandrake !! Hardware recognition and setup works in spite of this user ;> BTW, the 'upgrade' only took a few minutes ;) Question: I d/l mp3's with Linux, convert and burn them to audio CD's with Windoze (Nero), and they play as such (.cda's) in every damn piece of junk CD player I can find. Including the 6 year old junk Sony in my pic'up, and my grandaughter's Fisher Price toy! They play in my BCD CDrom or the Plex CD-RW in Winblows, but not in the same hardware in Linux, how come??

I presume you have a SCSI writer. I spent hours fruitless trying to get my IDE writer to work by following all the ide-scsci tricks, and I've seen gobs of messages from others fighting this thing. My current conclusion is that I'll only be able to write CDs in Windows until I replace my writer with a SCSI model. :-( -- Lane

Furthermore, as I discovered helping some others, if supermount is not enabled on your machine, then you need to do this Open a terminal su to root # modprobe ide-scsi Do your burning with your favorite software # rmmod ide-scsi # exit Civileme

Hi, I am still trying to get my CD-RW working. I can mount a cd, read its contents, yet gtoaster or xcdroaster will not access it. cdrecord -scanbus gives me: scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) * 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) 'IBM ' 'DDRS-39130D ' 'DC1B' Disk 0,3,0 3) 'YAMAHA ' 'CRW8424S' '1.0g' Removable CD-ROM 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * I am not sure what to set the cd to /dev/scd0, /dev/scd3 /dev/cdrom since none of them work. What am I missing? TIA Bruce
Re: [expert] CD burner puzzles
Yeah my experience with the XCDroast package is it will try to calculate the size of the image to be created and go to the disk and the hard drive will start up and never return! I've watched the process with the KDE process management tool, and it will consume all the CPU resources at least 98%! I had to then terminate the process. I haven't tried the new cooker stuff yet. vern "Brian T.

Re: [expert] CD burner puzzles
No, it's the Mandrake 7 version of mkisofs that's broken, though it took us some time (and lots of messages in this list) to figure that out . . . The cooker one is fixed; there's a test program on my website to see if it's causing you trouble. NOTE that it only corrupts some files, so you could be creating potentiallly-corrupt CDs and not know it if you haven't run the test program!

Re: [expert] CD burner puzzles
I seem to recall reading that the CDRECORD/XCDROAST package that comes with Mandrake 7 is broken, that you need to upgrade to the latest, preferably the tarball from the author. John

I had no problems with my SCSI cd recorder being used as a CDROM *and* CDR/W in Mandrake 6.0. It may be a problem with the SCSI emulation. John
Re: [expert] CD burner puzzles - one more thing
I forgot to mention that kudzu comes up on boot and says that the cd writer has been removed from the system. I choose "do nothing". Trevor
[expert] CD burner puzzles
I have been able to use my CDrw as a CDrom under Mdk 7.0-2, but have not been able to get it to write. It would, however, blank rewritable CD's! For various reasons, I have been unable to devote much time to solving this, and none of the suggestions this group gave me (some time ago) helped, so I resigned myself to using Win95 as my Cd burner. All that has changed, but I can't understand how! So now I'm more puzzled than ever... Here's what has happened: I installed Red Hat 6.2 on another partition, (on the other drive) and immediately after, supermount in Mdk died. The supermount enable and disable commands appear to make the required changes to fstab, but clicking on the icons brings up an empty directory - the device is not mounted. Also, a message "the kernel does not recognise /dev/cdrom2 as a block device (maybe 'insmod driver'?)" appeared twice during the boot sequence. This was fixed by making the cdrom and cdrom2 entries the same. Manually creating device icons allows me to mount and unmount the cdrom and cdrw (cdrom2) now, and, amazingly, cdrecord now works! so I can burn CD's. Only one (small) hitch, I can't mount the burner until after I use the cdrecord -scanbus command. If I try to access the burner before giving that command, I get : "Could not mount" "mount: the kernel does not recognise /dev/cdrom2 as a block device (maybe 'insmod driver'?)" but once I have issued a cdrecord -scanbus the mount works until I reboot the machine.If, however, I burn a cd, then try to mount the cdrw, I get "wrong major or minor number" sometimes, and sometimes it mounts??? Oh, yes, I have to use cdrecord as root - is there any way to run it as an ordinary user? My fstab file is: /dev/hda1 /mnt/DOS_hda1 vfat user,exec,conv=binary,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/DOS_hdb1 vfat user,exec,conv=binary,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/redhat ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb5 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0/mnt/floppy auto sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0 /dev/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0 and /dev/cdrom2 links to /dev/scd0. I have hdd=ide-scsi in lilo.conf as well. I am thoroughly confused as to how installing Red Hat 6.2 on another drive could have made any changes to my Mandrake system (these persist even if I boot off the boot floppy I made at install). Since it got my burner working, I'm not complaining, mind you :-) but I would love an explanation for any of the above if anyone has one. -- Trevor Farrell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
