Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 117534
CDRW and DVDRW failing totally
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:37 EST
Description of problem: Under the 2.6.3 kernel, it does not seem possible to record either to CD or DVD Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cdrecord 2.01-0.a25.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fire up any CD/DVD writing software 2. Create a list of files to burn (or an ISO image) 3. Actual results: An error code 11 from mkisofs occurs. k3b complains that cdrao should be updated to a newer version which supports packet writing Expected results: The CD/DVD should be written to Additional info: grub.conf has the drives line set as (after LABEL) acpi=on hdc=ide-cd hdd=ide-cd hdf=ide-cd selinux=0 ls -l /dev/cdwrite* /dev/cdwriter -> /dev/sg1 /dev/cdwriter1-> /dev/sg2 ls -l /dev/cdrom* /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom2 -> /dev/hdf Under the 2.6.2 kernel (compiled from source and with ide-scsi enabled for both the compilation and on the grub line [/dev/hdf=ide-scsi etc]) CDs and DVDs would burn fine.
Are you point it at /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdwriter? If you're not using ide-scsi, you shouldn't use /dev/sg*.
you also want to use: $ cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI: and then specify dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 or whatever... It is true that dvdrecord does not support the new ATAPI interface... but that would be component dvdrtools, right?
Even after doing that, k3b is still giving me the following error /opt/schily/bin/mkisofs: Resource temporarily unavailable. cannot fwrite 2048*1 (it's the same if I use a self compiled version or the Fedora version) You're right about the dvd recorded though :-(
gtoaster looks for devices on /dev/sg*, so it is kept in there - it doesn't matter as I can currently not burn to anything! I can create an iso image though, so mkisofs can't be that screwy!
is this still the case?
Seems to be working fine now. This can be closed
