 |
|
Hi y'all...
I don't really know if it's the correct forum, or that it should be in Multimedia (mods, if so, please move it...  )
I have a external (usb) dvd writer connected to my box. So far, so good. I can find it in dmesg, and if I create a custom device in Gnomebaker, (/dev/sr0) I can burn with it. I did search a lot, and topics I found on Gentoo Wiki and the form helped me so far...
However, the device is not recognized as a optical device. So if I start NeroLinux (that has no option to add own devices) I can't use it. Also if I right click a ISO file in the filebrowser I can select the option to burn it to disk. here I also can't select my device.
I can't mount the device, because a empty dvd is not mountable. I don't have it added in my fstab (should I?). I'm running Gentoo 2.6.17-gentoo-r4, with Gnome 2.14.2 on a dual AMD Opteron...
Output of dmesg:
| Code: | Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVDRRW GSA-2164D Rev: 1.00
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 00
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 125x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
usb-storage: device scan complete
|
Does anybody has the magic trick for me? Should I add it in fstab, and if so, what should I add...?
Thanks in advance![/code]

maybe nerolinux will recognise it after a modprobe sg - the scsi generic module. if it does not exist, enable it in the kernel.
udev should create /dev/sg0 and then test nerolinux again.

Thanks a lot! That worked like a charm, didn't have it enabled in the kernel... 
Now I have to wait until I get home to test it... (VNC does not let me put in a blank DVD from my work... )
