CD burning 4 newbies

ludeking · 7th November 2003, 5:08 PM

I have searched widely on this topic and really want to setup buring CD's in Linux.

The devices I have are:
Lite-On 48x Burner
Sony 16x DVD drive.
Both ATAPI.

I've found that ATAPI burning isn't supported yet(can't wait for kernel 2.6!) and I need to add scsi emulation.
Found several instructions for this,
append to lilo, compile kernel with scsi emulation and remove ide-cd, append to fstab.

can someone please list a complete set of instructions?
Thanks.
p.s. I am running kernel 2.4.22 (upgrading kernel not an option yet - waiting for 2.6)
p.p.s. here is my output from lsmod:

is scsi already built in with the ide-scsi module?

p.p.p.s. I am using K3b.

Give us the output of "cdrecord -scanbus" (must be as root)

windsok · 7th November 2003, 5:51 PM

you must define what device you want to use scsi emulation in lilo.conf

so figure out what device your burner is with the following:

Code:

dmesg | grep '^hd.:'

then add the following line into lilo.conf

Code:

append="hdb=ide-scsi"

(obviously you chance hdb to whatever your burner is)

then run the following to update lilo

Code:

lilo -v

after a reboot cdrecord -scanbus should look something like this:

Code:

root@windsok:/home/windsok# cdrecord -scanbus

ludeking · 7th November 2003, 6:12 PM

cdrecord gives me this:

Code:

cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

ok. my cdrom is hdd.
so in lilo I add:
append="hdd=ide-scsi"

Can I just put that at the bottom of the file?

windsok · 7th November 2003, 6:15 PM

I think you can put it anywhere, but mine is at the start, eg:

# LILO configuration file
# generated by 'liloconfig'
#
# Start LILO global section
append="hdb=ide-scsi"
etc

ludeking · 7th November 2003, 6:24 PM

Ok, added it to lilo and now cdrecord -scanbus reveals this:

Is that it?

windsok · 7th November 2003, 6:25 PM

yep, you should now be able to burn cds

ludeking · 7th November 2003, 6:27 PM

Just noticed K3b detects my cd drive as a SCSI device now, but still give me an error msg saying it doesn't support buring with ATAPI and at least one of my burners should be SCSI emulated.......

ludeking · 7th November 2003, 6:30 PM

but it looks like it might be working anyway. I'll grab a cd and try to burn something later on. will report back

ludeking · 7th November 2003, 6:52 PM

SUCCESS!

Thanks everyone.

SchRAMBO · 25th March 2004, 4:36 PM

I'm following the little guide posted by ludeking. I added the line

Code:

append="hdc=ide-scsi"

and ran the lilo command.

But cdrecord -scanbus just says

Code:

bash-2.05b# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�rg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

any foggies?

using Slackware 9.1 and my burner is a Pioneer DVR-106D. Thanks.

oh. and will k3b only work under kde? cause its not wanting to run under Gnome 2.4

Bern · 25th March 2004, 5:40 PM

Did you reboot after you updated lilo?
The "append" line in lilo is where you put options that you want to pass to the kernel at boot - so after adding an "append" to lilo.conf you have to reboot (after running lilo) for the option to be passed.

As for k3b not working in gnome, it should - start it from a console and look for errors - you may be missing a kde dependency.

For those of you using KDE and scsi emulation with only one optical drive (the emulated one) you need to chmod 666 /dev/sg* to use konqueror for browsing audio cds.

SchRAMBO · 25th March 2004, 7:06 PM

mmm odd. But at least its mounted now

I changed the append line to hdd (Pionner DVD-106S) and checked it with cdrecord -scanbus and it had worked. So I modified it back to hdd (Pioneer DVR-106D) and now its worked

just had another look at the k3b issue. when logged in as root it just spits out "command not found" when just a normal user it goes

Code:

k3b: error while loading shared libraries: libfam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Time to learn all about libarys I think.

There should be a package for your distro somewhere if you don't do source.

SchRAMBO · 25th March 2004, 7:33 PM

ooo not good... the patch file link is broken.

also I just remembred, since my burner drive is now scsi emulated. what do I need to change in my fstab file for it to be mountable normally?
