I am using Suse 7.0 Professional. I installed xcdroast by following the directions stated in Suse's Configuration Manual, Chapter 7, Writing CD's in Linux.. Everything is very close to working-- Xcdroast recognizes my cd-rw drive and hard drive and other setup options were accepted. Here's the problem: When I choose "Copy Audio CD", xcdroast closes up and disappears from my desktop and does not commence copying data from the cd drive. Also, every time I start up xcdroast to try again, I get a message stating, "The SCSI-Bus has changed since last "save" in the Setup-Menu. Please check if all settings are still valid! Please enter Setup....." Lastly, I can no longer mount my cdrom drive to read cdroms. I receive the following error message when I try to mount cdrom--- "/dev/cdrom: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type. I've gone over the directions in Chapter 7 about five times. I know I followed them precisely. It said nothing about recompiling my kernel, or anything like that. Why is this failure occurring? Thank you for your help. Mike michael.flug@snet.net
Hi Mike It might be useful if you stated what hardware you have i.e. are your drives SCSI or IDE. Your cdrom mount problem could be a link error, you may need to do something like: ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom depending on your drives and how you have set up your system. Let's have some more info. I tried using the directions in the same manual and I wasn't successful either. However, the directions in the manual for 7.1 were spot on (except for what I think is a minor typo).

There is a really well written readme.txt file that talks about the issues with burning a CD and how to configure your machine depending on the CDR drive you have. The program is called xcdrgtk.

Hi Eddie: Thanks for your response. Here's some info. regarding my hardware: Acer CRW1208A 12x 8x 32x (IDE) Western Digital 13.6 gig hard-drive Asus A7V motherboard Athlon 800 Mhz processor In preparation for installation of xcdroast I did the following: modified kernel and boot configuration in YaST: hdb=ide-scsi I also changed /etc/modules.conf from "alias scsi_hostadapter off" to "alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi" Any suggestions you can give are greatly appreciated. I have no idea what to do next. Thanks, Mike Wednesday 02 May 2001 03:47, Eddie Howson wrote:

you've got more than that to do, lol....lol
goto the webpage
http://members.surfeu.fi/hans.sandvall/doc/dell-inspiron-8000.html
and have a read of the cdwriter section, I know you don't have a notebook
but these instructions are the easiest to understand that i've found yet for
the basic writer setup.
you can use xcdroast rather than the cdrecord in the above instructions but
you need to read all doccumentation first, especially the steps listed in
/usr/share/doc/packages/xcdroast/README.nonroot else xcdroast won't work
properly for some reason.
Just don't get frustrated or try to hurry and check spelling and case before
comitting each entry, it will save starting again.
have fun
