Hello, I am a noob to linux. Just installed last week. I have Debian 4.0 installed and updated on a fresh machine. I am using Gnome as the GUI. I am trying to get Gnomebaker to burn an .iso to disk yet it fails. This is the text that I copied from Gnomebaker: wodim: No write mode specified. wodim: Asuming -tao mode. wodim: Future versions of wodim may have different drive dependent defaults. scsidev: '1,0,0' scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.5.34 Wodim version: 1.1.2 SCSI buffer size: 64512 Beginning DMA speed test. Set CDR_NODMATEST environment variable if device communication breaks or freezes immediately after that. TOC Type: 3 = CD-ROM XA mode 2 atapi: 1 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 5 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : Vendor_info : 'LITE-ON ' Identification : 'DVDRW LH-20A1S ' Revision : '9L08' Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.

Driver flags : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE FORCESPEED Supported modes: Drive buf size : 988416 = 965 KB FIFO size : 12582912 = 12288 KB wodim: Drive does not support TAO recording. wodim: Illegal write mode for this drive. I have tried with it set to DAO,SAO,TAO, Auto, same thing. The thing that is wierd is the scsi part. This drive is SATA I, along with the Western Digital hard drive.
Here is a copy of the ls of the /dev/disk/by-id: ata-BCD-48SB_CD-ROM_MT1102A_Firmware ata-WDC_WD800JD-75MS-WD-WMAM9TT57577 ata-WDC_WD800JD-75MS-WD-WMAM9TT57577-part1 ata-WDC_WD800JD-75MS-WD-WMAM9TT57577-part2 ata-WDC_WD800JD-75MS-WD-WMAM9TT57577-part5 scsi-SATA_WDC_WD800JD-75M_WD-WMAM9TT57577 scsi-SATA_WDC_WD800JD-75M_WD-WMAM9TT57577-part1 scsi-SATA_WDC_WD800JD-75M_WD-WMAM9TT57577-part2 scsi-SATA_WDC_WD800JD-75M_WD-WMAM9TT57577-part5 Sorry for packing all this info in here, but I wanted to be thorough. I don't understand why the scsi reference to SATA? Is there a driver that I need to install? By the way, what is with the two disks? There is only one SATA drive, why one ata and one scsi-SATA? Also come to think about it, why the part 1,2,5 and no part. I formatted with a single partition and /swap? -- Paul Lane KC9EYE http://www.qsl.net/kc9eye/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Life after all, is a fatal disease, and the mortality rate for humans, at the end of the day is 100%."
