Greetings ILUG...
I've been trying to use my Philips ATAPI CD-RW drive toburn some CD under
Linux . I would appreciate aany suggestions anyone have on this matter,
but first - I have a more basic problem :
I'm using RedHat 6.0 on a P][ -300 box, with a CD-ROM and the
afor-mentioned CDRW drive , located at /dev/hdc (CD-ROM), and /dev/hdd
(CDRW). the first thing I tried to do , was to read a CD I placed in
the CD-ROM in an image. so I did what was suggested here in an earlier
message (I did it from memory, so probably I got it wrong) :
dd if=/dev/hdc of=/tmp/ipk1.iso
inorder to get an image of the CD into the file /tmp/ipk1.iso
what happened, is that it started reading from the drive, and looked to be
doing OK , when all of a sudden (after about, I guess, 1/2 of the CD was
read - I'm not sure, I'm guessing by the time it took it to do the stuff),
it started spewing these messages :
hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x34
hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x34
hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x34
hdc: cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x34
hdc: ATAPI reset complete
ATAPI device hdc:
Error: Unit attention -- (Sense key=0x06)
Power on, reset or bus device reset occurred -- (asc=0x29, ascq=0x00)
then read more for a few seconds, and spit out the same sequence again .
this continued all the way until it stopped reading. just before the end,
I also got this message :
1143444+0 records in
1143444+0 records out
then a few more error sequnces, and then it was done.
my question - is the image usable (I guess not ?) ?
what is the problem do you think ?
how can I fix it ?
Y can't I find cdrecord on my system ?
in what RPM can I find it (I didn't find any RPM labeled
cdrecord-something, on the RedHat CD, and it's not in mkisofs) ?
and couldyou give me some pointers on CD burning with ATAPI CD-Rs ?
that's all for now :-> /...
