I tried to use K3b but my CDR/RW isn't recognised. My DVD rom is recognised .
How can i get my CDR/RW to be recognised
It is in the /etc/fstab as /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 auto noauto,user 0 0

What kernel are you running, if you are running a 2.4.* kernel you need to append hdc=ide-scsi replacing hdc with your burners device.

I'm running 2.4 but i can't even get my CDR/RW to read media?

I can recommend to use 2.6.x kernel. No ide-scsi emulation and burn via ATAPI. It is more clear solution and I think that K3b will run without any problems.

Yea, don't even bother with 2.4 really. 2.6 is here and stable and tons easier and better, and more awesomer.. and so much goooooder. It really is.

What happens when you try to mount the device via the command line? What errors do you get? [re: can't even read the cd]

And you can also post relevant part of kernel config.

I get this message when i try to mount via the command line

mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom1
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified

you must use

Code: Select all

 mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdroms/cdrom1

And you also must have support of iso9660 compiled into kernel.
