Folks,

I may have missed something or haven't burned discs in a while. I got an 
error from cdrecord basically it acted as though it completed the burn, 
but in such record time I knew it didn't work. Matter of fact when I ran 
cdrecord -version I get a message like this.

Cdrecord-Clone 2.01.01a01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 
Jörg Schilling
NOTE: this version of cdrecord is an inofficial (modified) release of 
cdrecord
      and thus may have bugs that are not present in the original 
version.
      Please send bug reports and support requests to 
<cdrtools@packages.debian.org>.
      The original author should not be bothered with problems of this 
version.

cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.7
cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer.
cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or 
Solaris.

So I'm a little surprised that Debian would include a modified version 
of this program. Does anyone know what the issues are with 2.6 kernels? 
Do those folks running other distros and 2.6 kernels have these issues?

The issues are that you need to be root to burn CD's in 2.6 because the
author has some issues with Linux apparently. The program will not run
SUID you actually have to be root. There are some other issues according
to the author but I think mostly he just doesn't like Linux so he spams
your screen with warnings.

Well...I think there really *are* some issues, at least, with some
burners. Like mine, for instance. Can't burn a CD to save me life with
cdrecord anymore. I keep getting timeouts and I don't know what all,
but she don't work no more!

So what do you use instead of cdrecord?

And while we're on the subject of cdrecord, I understand that you don't need 
scsi drivers any more but the manual page doesn't say anything about that, 
so how do you address the device?

Just use the /dev device name. For example, my burner is /dev/hdd, so 
use the following:

cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd <extra command-line arguments here.>

Is the necesity of scsi drivers a 2.4 VS. 2.6 kernel variant?  Is that something
specific to cdrecord?

Hi.

You need to use scsi imulation in 2.4 kernels for cd burning.  The
module isn't supported in 2.6, so you should switch to the standard IDE
cdrom support for your burner.

I still use cdrecord for burning, so I don't know about other burning
software.  I would suspect it will be the same.  The info about the
ide-scsi module in a 2.6 kernel tells you not to use it any more.


Hope this helps.

Kenny,

Ok very good, but I do have a scsi scanner and if memory serves me, I 
needed the scsi emulation for this the sg .um think that was what its 
called. Been a while since I brewed a kernel, but perhaps I need to go 
back and have a look over this. I have actually and don't ask why, its a 
good story over a cold beer, but I have a scsi scanner, a scsi burner, 
and the ide burner. Now yes I could get rid of the scsi burner, but gee 
it works, but it doesn't burn dvd discs. What my plan was for one thing 
is to cook up a dvd disc I could take to work with all my favorite music 
on it and have something that would play all day long. I like having the 
other burner as a second cdrom drive if nothing else.
I hope I can keep the scsi scanner and burner on this box so will look 
over the kernel options very carefully. Well in any event it looks like 
if I want to burn dvds I'll have to find another version of cdrecord as 
the one that comes with Debian does not apparently have the code for 
dowing this or at least the output would indicate this.

No, SCSI emulation is to make an IDE peripheral look like a SCSI one.  For a
SCSI scanner, it's "SCSI Generic Support" that you would need.

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

As usual, I didn't communicate clearly.  The module you need to dump is
ide-scsi.
Use scsi support for the scsi devices, but use ide support for the ide
devices.

Hope this helps.

So you don't need to specify the interface being cooked-ioctl or whatever.

That's cool, thanks.

I think the problem is a kind of snobery. Take your queue from what he
says about not bothering him with reports.
