I have a atapi dvd drive and a scsi cdrw drive. what is recommended for cd copying? xcdroast will only see the burner and koncd will only see the dvd drive. perhaps I don't know what I am doing? thanks -Pete
Hi Peter this has been discussed at length her is somewhat oof a summary (not sure if it fits your situation) first I would run cat /var/log/boot.msg | grep scsi > see_scsi.txt cat /var/log/boot.msg | grep hd > see_drive.txt that will at least give you an ides of wats getting loaded the following messages got my drives to burn have fun rob ################# from Ally ######################### Here is what you could do if you boot with lilo:(As I don`t use loadlin you have to figure yourself integrating following) - login as root - with YaST configure the kernel so that you add in the append-line hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi (or whatever your devices are,check your boot.msg) (assuming your CD-drives are on master and slave on the secondary bus) - substitute in the file /etc/modules.conf the line with alias scsi_hostadapter off by alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi Add at the end of the file /sbin/init.d/boot.local a line with /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi - Enter the following commands (still as root): ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom ln -sf /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom1 Hope it helps See ya Al. A Note :You can choose whether to emulate ide-scsi your plain cdrom by not including that "hdd=ide-scsi so cdrom will stay "atapi" ###################From Chris Reeves ####################### You need to use the ide-scsi module, because the CD drive needs to be accessed as a SCSI device in order for cdrecord/xcdroast/etc. to see it (it probably uses the SCSI command set internally anyway). To do this, at the LILO prompt, type 'linux hdc=ide-scsi' (assuming that the burner is /dev/hdc). Now you can do a 'cdrecord -scanbus' and see if the burner shows up. If it does, you can set up some things like an fstab entry, and placing the the 'hdc=ide-scsi' as an append line in lilo.conf, and so on. Have fun, Chris ######################### my responce ######################### then add the line to [/etc/init.d/boot.local] /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi #this is rite out of the suse manual configuration pg 160 #as the the below linking procedure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ then simply created links to *both* ide drives ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom ln -sf /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ rebooted and Wallah! Im using x-cd-roast!! I can burn data cds at about 200M=10min music cds are a bit disappointing, seems to take forever to burn a audio cd. This is partly to do with the inability to copy "on the fly" meaning the data has to be written to the hard drive first I can live with that as I mostly make data cds . Overall Im impressed, although I have to admit from the beginnig I though having to *trick* Linux into thinking my ide cdroms were scsi. Its definetly a mandatory to perform this "emulation" #################################################################### Peter Veach wrote:
