The new cdrecord uses scsi-commands to interact with the CD drives. Therefore loading the ide-scsi module is mandatory. Please try to unload the ide-cd and the ide-scsi module (you may need to stop magicdev or autorun) and reload the ide-scsi module. Does the ATAPI reader show up now ? I do not use any desctop (Gnome or otherwise) just a windowmanager (enlightenment). So I assume I do not have neither magic-dev nor autorun running. I usually mount and unmount devices by hand. I tried to load (insmod ide-scsi) and run xcdroast again. Did not see any changes. here is lsmod output: Module Size Used by sg 27776 0 (autoclean) ide-scsi 8544 0 ide-cd 26944 1 (autoclean) cdrom 27392 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] nfsd 70976 8 (autoclean) autofs 11808 1 (autoclean) nfs 82816 4 (autoclean) lockd 53232 1 (autoclean) [nfsd nfs] sunrpc 66352 1 (autoclean) [nfsd nfs lockd] 8139too 16880 1 (autoclean) nls_iso8859-1 2880 2 (autoclean) nls_cp437 4384 1 (autoclean) vfat 9488 1 (autoclean) fat 33856 0 (autoclean) [vfat] aic7xxx 136336 0 sd_mod 11744 0 (unused) scsi_mod 98624 4 [sg ide-scsi aic7xxx sd_mod] You really have to unload the ide-cd and the ide-scsi modules before you reload the ide-scsi module. Otherwise you won't see any changes in xcdroast. That worked. So, what should I do to make it work automagically? Should I load ide-scsi before ide-cd (at boot time)? You can add a line to your /etc/lilo.conf: append="hdb=ide-scsi" But you also have to change the link /dev/cdrom to point to /dev/scd0, because you can't access hdb anymore when it is handled by ide-scsi. Well, I figure it out myself quite some time ago. But when I tried to play music CD using ide-scsi computer hanged dead (or may be X hanged dead - it was a home computer and I could not try to telnet to it; neither Ctrl-Alt-Backspace nor Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc are worked), but CD played fine :). I am not picky, I can do loading modules by hand, so I did not persue the issue further (but issue is there). |
