Hi Alvin, I made further tests as follows;
1) Removed (append="hdc=ide-scsi") from /etc/lilo.conf 2) # apt-get install mkisofs 3) # mkisofs -R -o cdimage.raw /path/to/folder/tarballs 4) Blanked CDRW # cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=10 blank=all -v -eject 5) Burned CDRW # cdrecord dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=10 -v -eject cdimage.raw tarballs burned on CDRW finally. I am still searching the instruction/manual in re the new changes to "cdrecord". 'man cdrecord' does help much. Any advice from other folks, TIA B.R. Stephen **************************************************** Hi Alvin, Thanks for your advice. > you're missing some modules ( the one for /dev/pg0 ) > > complete list of modules ( kernel options ) that is needed > http://www.linux-1u.net/CDRW I have visited the above site, some of link already missing. Several things have changed with cdrecord lately. The latest versions of cdrecord, however, support writing to IDE/ATAPI cd writers directly using the ATAPI system. 'man cdrecord' does not help much. # cdrecord -scanbus did not generate the needed information. I have to use following command instead # cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a24 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 J\x{FFFD}rg Schilling scsidev: 'ATAPI' devname: 'ATAPI' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
