I have an issue with cdrecord though and I can't figure it out. I use Webmin, which basically just creates an iso and then uses cdrecord to burn it and it worked fine with previously installed CentOS 4 (I wiped and reinstalled about 8 months ago).

This is the command that Webmin tries to execute...

cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 -isosize \ '/home/Linux/CentOS-4/CentOS-4.2-i386-bin4of4.iso'

The result of cdrecord -scanbus at bottom of email. Log of error just below.

Hmm? I'm not sure why Webmin or anyone would want to use the SCSI id any more, since dev=/dev/hd? gets the job done. It works just fine on RHEL4-U3 at work, so CentOS 4.3 should be the same.

Maybe I'm missing something here?

I am certainly no expert at cdrecord .. but I would drop the "-isosize". Also, you may be able to use dev=</dev/devicename> as well.

I just use K3B to do all my recording now with CentOS-4 ... GUI will be the death of us all ... :)

But I remember something about the 2.6 kernel and use of the ATAPI target being required instead of the old IDE-SCSI method when using cdrecord.

I don't remember the particulars, but google might.

---- I started with google and knew that I didn't want to try passing kernel parameters like hdc=ide-scsi and couldn't find it but wasn't sure where to go with it.

Turns out... dev=ATAPI:0,0,0

was the answer. Added it to both /etc/webmin/burner/config and to /etc/cdrecord.conf to be safe but from cli, I only needed to pass the dev as above, once addded to /etc/cdrecord.conf, I didn't need to bother and in webmin's config, it works fine.

Thanks all

This might relate to that. The IDE DVD burner in my machine (identified as 1,0,0 in -scanbus) doesn't work as dev=1,0,0, but *does* work as dev=ATA:1,0,0

Hope that helps.

I recently had a simular issue, and could get farther when specifing the transport (i.e. ATA, ATAPI), but it still would not work for me. Someone tried just specifying the device file, instead of the scsi ID and that worked perfectly. I don't know what changed in cdrecord between RHEL 3 and RHEL 4, but just using the device file seems to be the path that works (i.e. dev=/dev/scd0).

I don't know where you did put them ... but I can tell you where you CAN put them :-P ... no google required ... hehehehehe

Then they'd never be found 'cause no light: the sun don't shine there! ;-)

---- yeah I figured it out and posted my resolution. Doing google search wasn't any good until I added ATAPI to the google search and then it paid off.
