USB DVDRW - can't burn :(

Hello,

i've a problem with a LG external USB DVD/CDRW

I can burn with cdrecord - he show me the burner with -scanbus, but i have no /dev device

For this reasen i can't burn with growisofs or K3B - because they need a /dev device

here the output from "dmesg":

usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 2
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
scsi 0:0:0:0: CD-ROM            HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-E10L  LE05 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
scsi 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 5
usb-storage: device scan complete

but with the device "sg0" i can't work - its not the right device

Can me anybody say how to work with an external DVD/CD burner?

Edit: now i've burn a DVD with NeroLinux without problems - the burner works well.

Best regards
quetzal

I use one (Mad Dog unit) all the time.  I use the 8.0 beta release.  the output I get from dmesg:

scsi7 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
scsi 6:0:0:0: CD-ROM            TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S182D SB00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1
sr 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 5
scsi 7:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Generic  USB SD Reader    1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
sd 7:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdc

I just plugged it in and it works is all I can say.  Can even boot off the thing in linux

Re: USB DVDRW - can't burn :(

hi,

yes - i use the 0.8 (Voodoo) too.

Normally i use the external burner at my PCMCIA Adapter - but for the internal (USB 1.0) is the same problem - i got no /dev device :(

Mayby i forgot to enable some scsi elements at the Kernel config?

here i post the scsi points from my kernel config:

Re: USB DVDRW - can't burn :(

I just use the stock kernel which does have that enabled and let the installer ( I reinstalled instead of upgrading from voodoo) using the defaults.

Good luck
