Suse 9.0, 2.6 kernel and hotplug
Howdy folks, I've just ordered 9.1, but it's on back order. I'm hoping that will fix my problem of not getting a thumb drive (or a cd recorder) to work. The 2.6 kernel sees my cd as /dev/hdc, but cdrecord wants to see it as a scsi device. I can read cd's and dvd's just fine, but I can't get cdrecord to work. So I went and got a thumb drive hoping I could just transfer data to it and then use dos (blech!) to burn cd's. Unfortunatly, thumb drives also use the scsi system for creating a virtual disk! After some mucking around I finally got the following in my /var/log/messages: May 20 21:21:34 linux /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[1872]: Bad USB agent invocation May 20 21:21:35 linux kdm[1816]: pam_unix2: session started for user drmike, service xdm May 20 21:21:35 linux resmgr[1117]: accepted connection from user root May 20 21:21:35 linux resmgr[1117]: disconnect from root May 20 21:21:37 linux kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...

You could use the SCSI emulation for that ;-) There's a description how to do this at the SuSE FAQ pages...

That gave: TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '/dev/hdc' devname: '/dev/hdc' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported. cdrecord: Permission denied. Cannot open '/dev/hdc'. Cannot open SCSI driver. So that didn't work. However: On Fri, 21 May 2004, Santiago Flores wrote:
on your mount statement, the correct behaviour is happening. Unfortunately, you cannot mount a device (unless you put a filesystem on the device). It is common practice, and Windows can't do otherwise, to create a partition and put a filesystem on that partition. Thus the command was: "mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/trek" but should look like: "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/trek" or what ever the partition would be.
worked great! So I can now at least transfer data easily to a system that can burn a CD. Hopefully 9.1 for AMD64 will fix my system so everything works with 2.6 kernel, but at least I can easily limp now. Thanks for the help everyone - I really appreciate it! Patience, persistence, truth, Dr. mike

On 9.0 you need an updated cdrecord for this. On 9.1 it should work out of the box. However on 9.1 ide-scsi is not recommended, always use the new method. -Andi
