Hi,
After upgrading to FC2, I miss cdrecord because it does not work
anymore. I can use K3B but I need cdrecord also in some of my shell scripts.
On running it complains about being unable to open /dev/sg????? something
something(i forgot what number is shown in ????).
thanks in advance.

Hello VJ:
There is a bug/feature associated with the latest 2.6.8.x kernels. A
non-root user is not allowed to burn. Your choices are to either a) su
to the root user burn or b) boot into an earlier kernel.
If neither of those suggestions will work (suppose you don't have the
older kernel, for instance), then this tutorial may be of some use for you:
http://penguinsolutions.org/fedora/cdrw/
Hope this helps,

Thanks Clint, but I know about the root issue with kernel 2.6.8. I am able
to use K3b without ANY problem. It is cdrecord which seems to be the
problem. May be it has not been modified to work with kernel 2.6 (in old
kernel it needed ide-scsi module bit not any longer in 2.6).
Thanks and regards from
VJ

k3b uses cdrecord, too, so maybe your /etc/cdrecord.conf or command-line
options are wrong.

Why have you got two entries for rotation of /home/ct/aufolognew? One in
/etc/logrotate.conf specifically for that file and another in
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog to handle all syslog files.

If K3B is working, take a peek at the output logs to see the specific
cdrecord commands it is using. Then you can use the same cdrecord
commands from the terminal window.

I cant get cdrecord or k3b to work using an earlier kernel or as root.
Does anyone have any ideas, this is getting really silly now.
I have logged a bug and posted here and not recieved even a derogatory

This probably won't help, but I thought I'd include it
since I just did this last night and it worked for me.
My situation was that I downloaded the FC2 rescue iso
image and wanted to burn that to a CD. Here's what I
did:
# su - root
# cdrecord --dev=/dev/cdwriter <iso image name>
(I looked in /dev and did 'ls cd*' and
found the cdwriter device)
That's it - and that worked for me.

Is the cable to the CD writer shared with any other device, such as a hard
disk? That might cause problems - see the -immed option to cdrecord.

Try:
strace cdrecord --dev=/dev/hdd blah.iso
You might at least find out which system call is causing the hang.

Woooooa! Slow down! You don't want to corrupt your hard disk! Some of
those 4 ide devices are your partitions on your hard disk that have
FC2 and whatever else installed on your system. Don't play around with
them and especially when you have root privileges!
Now your problem is most likely a ATAPI problem. I used to get the
same response from cdrecord when I had SCSI emulation on for my ATAPI
CD burner. So one thing you should do is turn it off and try to use
cdrecord. Here are the steps:
First go to /boot/grub/grub.conf and back it up just in case:
cd /boot/grub
cp grub.conf grub.conf.BAK
Then edit grub.conf with your favorite editor and see if there is a command:
hdx=ide-scsi
on the kernel command line that you are using. Notice that "x" is the
letter for the ide device that your CD is using so it can be anything.
If there is this command delete ONLY that and leave the rest intact.
Save and exit from your editor.
Now go to your /etc/modprobe.conf file and see if there is an option:
options ide-cd ignore=hdx
where "x" again pertains to your ide letter. Comment that part out by
putting a hash "#" in front of it. Now you are ready to go. If your
kernel was compiled with native ATAPI support then by rebooting your
system to the same kernel your device should be ready to use. If you
give:
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI
cdrecord should respond with your ATAPI device numbers identified.
Good luck!

This worked and listed the drives, but k3b still hangs as root and on
previous kernel and cdrecord still hangs trying to write an iso.

Which device is the cdrw? hdc or hdd?
Confirm you are doing this only to the cdrw.

Best tesl ever is to see where /dev/cdrom points to:
ls -l /dev/cdrom
If that's your only CD device that's the device you should be writing
things on. If you have multiple CD drives then do a
ls -l /dev/cd*
to figure them out and see which is which either by
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI
or though your kernel logs during boot:
egrep -i -C2 -e "DVD|CD" /var/log/dmesg

On another note I just realized that the module is called 'ide_cd' and
not 'ide-cd'!!!!!
So it won't hurt if you try:
modprobe ide_cd
and see what happens! If the module is there (and it should) then you
should have finally your CD drive back!

The FC2 kernel does not ship with an ide-cd.ko or ide_cd.ko module.

There probably worth less now but there are multiple gmail invites to
the person that can get me burning cd's (even as root, i dont care) or
if you in the UK, Sussex area and manage to get me burning you can
have an old hp netserver lh II, dual pentium 233, 128mb ram, 3 x 4Gb
scsi & 2 x 9Gb scsi, cd-rom, hp surestore dat8 & a few dds2 8Gb tapes.
First, look at your /etc/grub.conf entry for your present kernel, and
make sure you don't have have an 'ide-scsi' entry for your burner.
What I did to get my burner working (it's also /dev/hdd), was to edit my
/etc/cdrecord.conf file. Here are the uncommented lines from my
cdrecord.conf:
CDR_DEVICE=PLEXTOR
CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m
PLEXTOR= ATA:1,1,0 -1 -1 burnfree
You can call your burner anything you want, just substitute PLEXTOR
above for whatever you want to call your drive. Once you get your
cdrecord.conf file edited:
cdrecord -v yourfilename.iso
will burn an iso image.

This still results in the same hang.

this is correct. ide-scsi is no longer necessary with the 2.6 series kernels.

this will
probably work if you have the _correct_ device numbers
I have read your mails, but have missed any posting containing the actual
output of
cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI
a literal cut-and paste will help.
e.g on my system I get
# ---- #
[stuart@behemoth stuart]$ cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus

ths would make my entry in /etc/cdrecord.conf:
CDR_DEVICE=FREECOM
CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m
FREECOM= ATA:0,0,0 -1 -1 burnfree

although as mentioned before the CDR_DEVICE string can be set to anything you
like. The numbers must match, however.
any help?
