I just generated an identical patch to fix this problem before finding this bug. It's been nearly 6 months since this trivial patch was proposed, and since cdrecord version 2.0.something, dev=ATA: is the proper way to use IDE cd writers under linux - dev=ATAPI: is now obsolete. (This is the case for both 2.4 linux kernels (since 2.4.20) and for all 2.6 linux kernels).
The ATAPI driver also uses a different numbering scheme for channel/id/lun compared to the ATA driver, which means eroaster tries writing to the wrong device for people using cdrecord version 2.0 or later! Could this simple patch please be applied? Thank you, John McPherson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
