Problems using any tools to record to Sony DRU-500AX

[Steve Scrimpshire]

I can use dvd+rw-format and growisofs to record to dvd+rw media, but I cannot get xcdroast or gcombust to work. They both say that they failed to find any scsi drives.

 

Here is /etc/modules.conf:

alias eth0 il

options ide-cd ignore=hdd

pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi

pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi

pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd





pre-install pcmcia_core CARDMGR_OPTS=-f /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start

alias usb-interface usb-ohci

alias char-major-6 off

Any thoughts?

[Steve Scrimpshire]

Solved my own problem. Sorry. I had to add

 

hdd=ide-scsi

 

to my append line in /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo -v even though this site http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/

says:

#



If you have an IDE unit, make sure it is "routed" through ide-scsi emulation layer by either:



   * passing "hdX=ide-scsi" argument to kernel;

   * appending following lines to your /etc/modules.conf:



options ide-cd ignore=hdX

pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi

pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi

pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd

 

It really shouldn't say 'either', it should say 'and'.

 

 

Thanks.

Steve, nice you got it working,... my next recording drive will be a dvd+rw, so good to know that's ok.

 

Did you mail the guy of the chalmers website about it?

It would help others to avoid this problem...

 

BTW are you sure it is not enough just to have the append part added to lilo.conf and then go from there?
