Hi,

I have 2 hard drives: hda and hdc, a CDROM: hdb and an external (parallel point!) HP 7100e CDRW.
Everithing runs perfectly under RH 7.3 with cdrecord 1.6.x.

Under Suse 8.2 I ran
rmmod sg
modprobe paride
modprobe parport
modprobe ide-scsi
modprobe epat
modprobe pg

I have cdrecord 2.0 from the new cdrtools package.
I ran
cdrecord -scanbus
and it "discovered" my CDROM as a SCSI device, instead of using the HP 7100e!
There is no problem mounting the CDRW as a CDROM using
modprobe pdc
mount -t xxx /mnt/xxx /dev/pg0

Hint: cdrecord claims it uses an unofficial version of csg library.

Has anyone seen a similar problem with Suse ?
Can someone share an opinion on what's wrong?

I know it's an old burner (x2 hahaha), But its very reliable at its top speed.

Thanks for your time!

האם בדקת באתר של סוזה שהצורב אכן נתמך?

Since a) it does run on Red Hat 7.3, b) I can use it as an external CDROM and c) support for all these is at kernel level I'm not sure what what 'supported by Suse' means. I know it is not supported out of the box, because if it did, than it wasn't so interesting

יש עוד בן אדם בעולם עם הצורב שלי הצורב שאין לו דרייבר ל XP והדרייבר ל NT מפיל את המחשב והורס את הדיסקים, ובגלל זה החלטתי לזרוק את חלונות במקום לזרוק את הצורב

אז ככה זה עובד אצלי:

קוד:

su modprobe paride modprobe epat modprobe pg drive0="0x3BC,0,0,-1,-1,0"

עכשיו תקליד dmesg כדי לבדוק שהוא זוהה וגם cdrecord -scanbus כדי לגלות איזה מספור סקאזי הוא קיבל ואז כדי לצרוב:

קוד:

cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=1 -v someimage.iso

גם 2 עובד אם יש לך מחשב מספיק מהיר ודיסקים טובים

Thanks for your answer, Dubix!

I didn't know I should set some values to the pg driver, as it worked with the defaults for pcd driver, but I'll have a llok at the pg driver source code, and make sure what are the correct parameters for my system. I know the I/O address is 0x378 but not sure about the rest. I'm not at the computer right now, so I'll have to check it later.

Thanks again,

It's Solved!

It's Solved! The solution I used was to recompile the new cdrtools version 2.00.3. Here's the difference in the outputs: # cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-suse-linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J?rg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/sg*'. 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'. while with the newly compiled version we get # /home/xxxyyy/Compile/cdrtools-2.00.3/cdrecord/OBJ/i686-linux-cc/cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 2.00.3 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J?rg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.7' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 7100 ' '3.01' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * System loading is done with the following command and parameters: c:\red-hat\su82\loadlin.exe c:\red-hat\su82\vmlinuz root=/dev/hdc12 ro nousb initrd=c:\red-hat\su82\initrd No kernel compilation needed.
