 |
|
ok i followed this guide
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=20175
then i do
| Code: |
root@misanthropia:/home/chr1z% insmod ide-scsi
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o
|
and then
| Code: |
root@misanthropia:/home/chr1z% cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.01a02 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
|
also i don't know if my writer is hdb or hdc
lsmod output
| Code: |
root@misanthropia:/home/chr1z% lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: P
ide-scsi 8912 0
NVdriver 1066976 10 (autoclean)

It seems that my cdrom is still in IDE mode i don't know why since i never load that mopdule at startup :/

Well it looks to me like you are missing "generic scsi support" in your kernel and that is why you are getting the error "cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver."
However you do not need to use SCSI-emulation any more since version 2.0 of cdrecord (cdrtools).
try running this
| Code: | | cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus |
and it will likely find your drive as
dev=ATAPI:0,0,0
and you will be able to burn even though you do not have SCSI-emulation working.

As reference check out the install guide where it indicates that you will need to . . .
Again this is just if you decide to use the SCSI-emulation way of doing things still. If you'd prefer to use the burner as an IDE device you can do that now (again this is only with version 2.0 of cdrtools.)

i did that but xcdroast was horrible slow and that's because auf atapi support is very alpha
i need something stable |

thats gives me
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) *
0,1,0 1) 'CyberDrv' 'CW058D CD-R/RW ' '110D' Removable CD-ROM
. . enable "SCSI support", "SCSI CD-ROM support" and "SCSI generic support"
i have all three!!!
still it does not work

Well it appears to be detecting your drive alright on the scsibus0 at 0,1,0 1 -- I don't recall ever seeing the trailing value after the three comma seperated ones. Maybe I am just loosing my mind though. Now to get this result did you execute
| Code: | | cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus |
or did you instead execute
because the first one only checks the ATAPI devices, which if you have SCSI-emulation working properly none will be detected. The second however will give you results if you DO have SCSI-emulation working properly! So this is a good way at least to know where you stand with SCSI-emulation. According to the kernel help for SCSI-emulation (however there are many instances that have proven this is not strictly true) it indicates that you must EXCLUDE IDE-CDROM support in your kernel for SCSI-emulation to work. Like I said I know this is not always true, however if you can exclude IDE CDROM support in your kernel it will simplify things greatly. One case that you might not want to do this though is if you have an IDE DVD-ROM with which you want to be able to use hdparm to fine tune performance wise.
Anyway the thread you posted originally is very interesting and (for one thing) proves that the kernel help regarding SCSI-emulation is false -- it also provides all kinds of tips and tricks to getting burning working well. Some results vary depending on hardware and kernel options of course!

ok, i excluded IDE Cdrom support
and put the scsi stuff directly into the kernel.
now it works perfectly! |

Thanks BonezTheGoon for the ATAPI burning info.
