So, I suddenly need to burn some cds in linux. k3b installed, I pop that little cd in the case and make me an iso of /pkg. I goes, "you burn me that baby" and watch it, well, not do anything. At all.
The cd recorder drove up a bit then stopped making sound. The status window has been 'preparing write process' for the past 10 mins. Pressing cancel, instead of promptly canceling it, has it stall some more until I force quit it. Doing cdrecord -tao --dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 /pkg.iso as root (0,0,0 being my cdr/w drive) yields a few warnings like cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris. scsidev: 'ATAPI:0,0,0' devname: 'ATAPI' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Warning: Using ATA Packet interface. Warning: The related Linux kernel interface code seems to be unmaintained. Warning: There is absolutely NO DMA, operations thus are slow. and a useless terminal window, permanently waiting on something I can't identify. Any help? I would've burned this in windows hadn't windows started BSOD'ing every other reboot (I'm on fresh reinstall #2 and no time left). kernel is Linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6, and the following can be found in my config: <*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support │ │ │ │<*> Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support │ │ │ │--- Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives │ │ │ │[ ] Support for SATA (deprecated; conflicts with libata SATA driver)│ │ │ │[ ] Use old disk-only driver on primary interface │ │ │ │<*> Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support │ │ │ │[*] Use multi-mode by default │ │ │ │<*> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support │ │ │ │< > Include IDE/ATAPI TAPE support (EXPERIMENTAL) │ │ │ │<*> Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support │ │ │ │<*> SCSI emulation support │ │[ ] IDE Taskfile Access │ │--- IDE chipset support/bugfixes │ │<*> generic/default IDE chipset support -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
