At risk of prolonging this agony further, I too have been unable to get a
cd burn with my new Ver 7.0-2 install. I have an LG CED 8042B 4x4x24 IDE
cd rw, which the install correctly identified. The install also faked some
sort of IDE-SCSI translation so the system "thinks" this is a SCSI drive.
The install was partly broken, but using a fix I found on this list (thank
you), I linked the cd-rw to /dev/scd0 and all worked well as far as reading
cds.
I haven't had time to really look into this yet, but my first attempts with
xcdroast have resulted in an error something to the effect of the reported
page file size being wrong. xcdroast identifies the cd-rw as a scsi
device. Is this necessary, or can the cd burning software write directly
to an IDE device? Should I remove the IDE-SCSI translation & let the system
address the cd-rw directly??
I have been hoping that some of the stuff posted here might save me some
research and give me a quick fix.
If anyone has any hints, I would appreciate them!
Thanks
Trevor.
