Hi, I'm a bit new to this stuff and read through the last few years of threads dealing with all this packet writing stuff and have tried countless suggested approaches to get this working however due to my inexperience and chaos of versions I've found it very difficult to match patches and kernels and the like and thus have had zero success getting anything to fully work. I came across the "pond-weed" example a bit ago and that looked very promising but it was for the 2.4.22 kernel and after 3 attempts I still was unable to get that one working. Could someone please post a HOWTO describing which kernel is best to use and links to exactly the corresponding patches to install, what order, and perhaps even a full example output from start to finish leaving nothing to be questioned? Ideally I'd like to use as new a kernel as possible, but am willing to sacrifice newness for workingness. I've tried versions 2.4.22, 2.6.4, 2.6.6, 2.6.7, 2.6.7-bk15, 2.6.7-bk20 and even 2.6.8-rc1-bk4. The closest I've gotten to anything working was on 2.6.8-rc1-bk4 where I was able to:
pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/hdd
ls -l /dev/pktcdvd0 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 97, 0 Jul 16 16:52 /dev/pktcdvd0
but got this error when mounting:
mount /dev/pktcdvd0 /mnt/dvd -t udf -o rw,noatime mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/pktcdvd0, or too many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?)
Please help me out! I'll gladly give more detailed description of what I've tried so far etc. if someone thinks I am close and can help me fix my problem. At this point I've tried so many things that I am starting to get confused because I have so many patches that don't know what is what anymore! I am using a Toshiba CVC-R/-RW DRIVE model SD-R6112 and trying to write to DVD-RW media.
