I think there's an article in an howto on CDRW concerning ide devices showing up as scsi devices.
did you burn at the speed suited for your cd's ? i wrote 12x on an 8x approved CD and had some rather funny problems with it until i started burning at 8x (this was on win2k) burning on Debian with 2.4.0 kernel resulted in cd's with the content table intact but the content itself was corrupted or missing. Since i found the Linux CDRW software rather simplistic and inadequate/confusing to use i decided to burn using the other OS. -----Original Message----- From: Ross Boylan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 04, 2001 3:29 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problems burning a CD Can anyone help me understand what happened when I tried to burn a CD, and what I can do (if anything) to fix up the CD? The burn seemed to go alright until the end, when it hung up and eventually failed (see log below). I can now read the CD when I put it in the writer, but not when I put it in the CD reader. mount /cdrom gives, after a pause, the error "mount: No medium found". I can mount and read regular CDs there, and the drive is only a couple of years old, so I think it should be able to handle CD-Rs. Here's the output of cdrecord trying to get multi-session info: wheat:/usr/local/rootlog# cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -msinfo cdrecord: Input/output error. read toc: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 43 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x24 Qual 0x00 (invalid field in cdb) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.005s timeout 40s cdrecord: Cannot read session offset I have an ATAPI drive (Sony CDU 928E) and built a custom kernel (2.2.18pre21) with scsi-ide and related modules. I am using the scsi-ide for the writer (formerly /dev/hdd) but have left the reader (/dev/hdc) alone. This means I have 2 drivers governing the same ide channel (if that's the right term). I don't know if that could cause trouble. There was nothing in hdc during the whole recording. wheat:/usr/local/rootlog# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SONY ' 'CD-R CDU928E ' '1.1n' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * When I first set things up I had both CD drives showing as SCSI, but now only the writer does. I believe this is a result of ide-cd grabbing the regular CD drive before ide-scsi gets it. Since I had set things up with the 2 SCSIs, this led to some of the [oops] below. I used GnomeToaster 0.3 under a potato system with bits of woody. I specified multi-session for this backup (data CD). Here are some of its preference lines: Recorder device /dev/scd1 [oops] mount point /cdrom [oops] SCSI id 0,0,0 [I edited this before I recorded] recording client cdrecord Fixating Command rec_clientrec_multisessionrec_dummymode dev=rec_scsiid speed=rec_speed -fix Trackwrite command rec_clientrec_multisessionrec_dummymode dev=rec_scsiid speed=rec_speed -nofix -$tracktype - Finally, here is the log of the toaster session. I tried a test without a write first; I'm not sure if that's still reflected in the log. (The test also hung at the end, but I hoped it would go away...)
