Foreword:
I got XCDRoast working with my ATAPI burner, without any ide-scsi emulation, because the new version of CDRTools supports the ATAPI method of using the burner... All you have to do is run the commands below( as root ), then you should be able to configure XCDRoast as usual, except this time using your burner without the emulation.

Version Numbers (Just for refrence):
XCDRoast: 0.96_alpha13
CDRTools: 2.01_alpha01

Commands to run:
emerge sync
emerge -up xcdroast
emerge -u xcdroast
cd /usr/portage/app-cdr/cdrtools/
emerge -up cdrtools-2.01_alpha01.ebuild
emerge -u cdrtools-2.01_alpha01.ebuild

This has been a cheatersrealm production :-D

Note: I would be interested to see how this method works out for everyone, but I WAS able to burn a 10MB cd (just to test that it worked).

I'm trying to get this to work on a fresh install of gentoo, and it's just not happening.

I emerged xcdroast (version 0.98 instead of 0.96, because that is the only ebuild I have available)
I then emerged cdrtools 2.01 alpha

I do have the scsi emulation enabled in the kernel, but I don't have anything in modules.autoload, so scsi modules aren't being loaded. I am also not passing the ide-scsi options in grub.

I also haven't touched devfsd.conf yet. I will worry about that when I get everything working for root.

X-cdroast tells me that no scsi devices are detected, and it simply won't let me choose any drives in setup (it is insisting on only using scsi)

cdrecord -scanbus also won't list any devices because it is still set on scanning for scsi devices.

I would like to get this to work for cdrecord first, then worry about x-cdroast. Can you give me any help?

Well, I think that I might have omitted a step that might be necessary, getting cdrecord to see it.

EDIT: Does anyone know if cdrecord has a data file that it keeps, when it finds a recorder? if so, that's why there were problems omitting the step below:

try this:

cdrecord dev=ATAPI:/dev/hdc -checkdrive

for me, it returned the following (after a while... give it a few seconds):

cool! It works fine for me and I just burned my first data disc. One thing I did before I started was 'rmmod' all the scsi emulation stuff that is loaded up on every boot. It's weird because I don't have any kernel parameters in my grub configuration and it's not in my modules.autoload. But everytime I boot up I have the sg, sr_mod, and scsi_mod modules loaded.

Another quick question, does anyone know of a good burning program that I can just send MP3's and it will automatically decode them into making an normal audio cd? I can do it with lame but I'd rather skip the step if it's possible...

thanks,
ajay

Cool... I don't know any programs that go from mp3->cd in one step on linux, but I'm sure that if there is, someone will tell you..

I guess I should say that ALL of my scsi stuff is disabled in my kernel.. compleatly.. no scsi support at all...

I haven't done any audio CDs yet, but gtoaster seems to be able to do what you ask. You didn't say if you wanted a command-line or a GUI tool, so I'll tell you upfront that gtoaster is a Gnome application! Works well under KDE, thought! :)

Code:
emerge gtoaster

Ok, my returned basically the same thing except with Lite-on as vendor instead of sony, but still the same driver.

Also It returned:
Code:
Response Format: 2

I don't know what this is, but I assume it's not a problem.
I also gave me a few extra supported modes.

But still, at this point, xcdroast is still insisting that it can't find any scsi devices and of course, cdrecord -scanbus returns nothing.

Do you get anything on your burner when you do
Code:
cdrecord -scanbus

?

Also, an update from the burning side: I just burned a coaster, the buffer ran empty.. I'm thinking maybe bumping the process will help...

Code:
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI

This froze me up at after reporting:

Oh well, thanks for your help. I think I'll just stick with SCSI emulation for now. Probably more reliable at this stage of development anyhow.

Are you sure it froze up? it takes a while... and I just got my CD to burn.. I belive that XCDRoast is quite finicky if it loses focus.. (my burner doesn't have BurnProof)

i gave it at least 10 minutes

and I have had good luck with scsi emulation, so I guess I'll stick with it for now.

Oh.. alright..

I did the ATAPI because I didn't feel like getting the kernel to have scsi stuff in it...

I also have the same problem. Both K3B and XCDRoast tell me that no devices are available. However, cdrecord says this:

Isn't ATAPI burning only available in kernel 2.5?

I am also using 2.4.19-gentoo-r10, but I have given up and am now set up with scsi emu. I'll try it again later once it becomes more established.

ok that is awesome, I haven't burned a CD yet, but xcdroast can see my drive with that command. It can only see my CD writer, when I tryied to run # xcdroast -f ATAPI:/dev/hdc ATAPI:/dev/hdd it only sees the cdwriter. I have a DVD drive on /dev/hdd that I would like to use to make copies of disks etc. How can I accomplish this? ok, I'm burning a cd now, it seems to work fine. it's really slowing my computer, though. I added my normal user acount to the list of allowable users, but when I run it as that user it complains that I don't have permission. Are there any special setttings I need to do this?

Yeah, works for me :). I compiled the scsi emulation modules, but x-cdroast works without me loading any modules, although I think it may load sg, sr_mod, sd_mod, and scsi_mod by itself.

I have just burned some files using :

$ mkisofs -R music | cdrecord -v fs=6m speed=2 dev=ATAPI:0,0 -

I have used the ATAPI transport layer, no scsi emulation loaded in the kernel. I have removed also hdc=scsi-ide in grub.conf.

I am using the kernel gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r1 and cdrtools 2.0.
