CD Writing with Atapi (IDE) CD-R
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am on SuSe 7.2 Pro and recently my CD went south So I replaced it with an Aopen (IDE) CD-RW. Now the CD-RW works fine as aCD player / reader but I cannot for the life of me get it to Write (burn) CDs. I have tried the following:- I appended the line "hdd=ide-scsi" to the hardware parameter in LILO. I changed the line in /etc/modules.conf to "aliase scsi_hostapter ide-scsi" Running "cdrecord -scanbus" I got the error "cannot open scsi driver" In desparation I added "/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi" to /etc/initd/boot.local. again running "cdrecord -scanbus" gives me the same error as before. I can't seem to get the damn thing mounted / recognized. All of the above I got from a SuSe support knowlwedgebase document "Using An ATAPI CD-R" What have I missed? Can someone point me in the right direction - I not too hot on Linux, being a recent convert from M$. Any help would be greatly appreciated. - -- Cheers, Kenny. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7rlbQ3U0DBB0gDFARAv9JAJ9JXYY7PpUbZx4ZHjr2jV7j9ng5XwCZAWuQ asd0RLKseiDz4YyIAOCgQ/o= =G6EM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hi, You probably lack the permission to load the sg (scsi generic) kernel module. Try cdrecord -scanbus as root. If this does not work either, then you have a configuration problem. There is a complete chapter on CD burning in one of the SuSE manuals. It explains how to set up your configuration and how to create a group for users that are allowed to burn CDs. I can also recommend the CD-Writing-HOWTO. Good Luck, Tim On Sun, Sep 23, 2001 at 09:40:24PM +0000, Kenny Shields wrote:

You have four drives and the CD writer is the slave on the second controller?
I changed the line in /etc/modules.conf to "aliase scsi_hostapter ide-scsi"
Well the spelling is wrong and I'm not sure you need it. Mine is: alias scsi_hostadapter off It's not in the manual for 7.1 pro.
Running "cdrecord -scanbus" I got the error "cannot open scsi driver"
I bet it's related to the alias. Nick

What I have to do is enter 'hdd=ide-scsi' at the SuSE graphical boot menu (Esc halts the timer) Do you boot with a floppy and have lilo in a boot partition? I think this is the problem. Regards Peter

You mean you have to enter 'hdd=ide-scsi' each time manually? This shouldn't be necessary, start YaST1, System Administration, Kernel and boot configuration, LILO configuration, append line for hardware parameters, and enter: hdd=ide-scsi max_scsi_luns=1 That's the way I have it, max_scsi_luns=1 tells the system to install the CD-Recorder only once, otherwise it would appear eight times, if your box doesn't do this mistake, forget this.
