[newbie] cdrecord broken in 8.1?
Hello! I have a problem on 2 machines. One at home and one at work. I was used to burn iso files using an alias, and it doesn not work anymore. Here is the respons of cdrecord in a shell: % cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.10 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J?g Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. In the past (in the downloadable version of 8.1), cdrecord was working well. Has anybody experienced the same problem? By the way, login as root is not a solution. I have tried, just in case, but it produces exactly the same result. Anyway, I am in the cdrom group, so it should work. The 2 machines are dual processor PCs but I don't think it is related. The motherboards and processors are different. Beside that, I didn't change anything but clean-installed the root partition on both. Any hint? Thanks, Pascal Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Has anybody experienced the same problem? Yes, I have the same problem and have been working with the guys in this group in trying to resolve it. I might go back to 7.2 since it was working OK there. I haven't been able to get internet sharing to work on 8.1 also. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I have also other problems on 8.1 with CDROM: sometimes, there is no way to remove the CD by pressing the CD button. As for internet sharing, I use it on 8.1 and it works well. But I remember I had some trouble to get it work. Apparently, the setup is not _exactly_ the same as on 8.0. Something is different, but I don't know what. It might be something like the DNS setting. I find this parameter ambiguous. Which DNS? The name server of my ISP that resolves names from the internet, or the DNS to resolve names on my lan? Anyway, try to modify some of the parameters, and it might work. As for reinstalling cdrecord, I have downloaded it and tried to reinstall, but I got an error. This might also be a 8.1 issue, but there are a lot of errors when installing a package. A lot more than on 8.0. Pascal Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] cdrecord broken in 8.1?
Yep Been there got the T shirt. Its the new devfs system which auto populates the /dev folder. It requires the drivers to be aware of it, and the scsi driver used by cdrecord isn't. All you have to do is edit /etc/lilo.conf and change the line append= hdd=ide-scsi devfs=mount quiet to append= hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount quiet Then re-run lilo with /sbin/lilo and reboot Then it should work (hopefully) You may then find you can no longer play audio cd's If so make a symlink ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc (Assuming your cdrom drive is on hdc) Derek On Tuesday 13 November 2001 01:48, Pascal Goguey wrote: Hello!

Whoops Mistake in the symlink That should read ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom Sorry Then re-run lilo with /sbin/lilo and reboot Then it should work (hopefully) You may then find you can no longer play audio cd's If so make a symlink ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc (Assuming your cdrom drive is on hdc) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Thanks a lot! By the way, it looks it works without having to reboot. The funny thing is that the scsi emulation was already seen from the system, at least it was listed in Mandrake control center - Hardware - CDROMS, so I couldn't suspect a config problem.
