I read somewhere about somebody's problems with xcdroast. My problem is even simpler (stupider?) I can't get cdrecord to work under debian.
Here is some of the info I have been able to gather about my current setup. debian:/dev# lsmod Module Size Used by serial 19564 0 (autoclean) es1371 25344 0 sound 57592 0 (unused) soundlow 416 0 [sound] soundcore 2628 7 [es1371 sound] parport_pc 7236 0 (autoclean) parport_probe 3332 0 parport 7280 0 [parport_pc parport_probe] sg 15320 0 (unused) ide-scsi 7080 0 vfat 9008 0 (unused) unix 10212 85 (autoclean) debian:/dev# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.9 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. debian:/dev# ls /dev/sg* /dev/sg0 /dev/sg11 /dev/sg14 /dev/sg2 /dev/sg5 /dev/sg8 /dev/sg1 /dev/sg12 /dev/sg15 /dev/sg3 /dev/sg6 /dev/sg9 /dev/sg10 /dev/sg13 /dev/sg16 /dev/sg4 /dev/sg7 My kernel version is the potato default kernel 2.2.17. My CD-RW is an ironicially named Best CD Writer. It works under Linux-Mandrake. I believe I have loaded all the necessary modules (sg + ide-scsi) and have the proper devices in /dev. Just to be sure I did a MAKEDEV (something the installation of cdrecord is supposed to do anyways), deleting /dev/sg* and recreating them. So why the message "cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open SCSI driver"? What have I forgotten/failed to do? This is the final piece of the puzzle in my making my Debian installation as usable as my Linux-Mandrake (I now have sound and ppp under Debian. Wow!) TIA
