wierd cd-burner issue

Hey there,

i have an old ide cd-burner 6x read 2x write.
using 2.6.10 kernel
xcdroast.

whenever i try to burn an iso image, it finishes ok, looks ok but when i try to mount it, it shows up as an audio track.

weird.
dont know if i should enable scsi-emulation. and dont know how.

i use arch linux

any ideas?

Re: wierd cd-burner issue

Try using just cdrecord from the cli to burn the image. You shouldn't need scsi emulation with the new kernels.

A simple way of burning the image would be:

  # cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom image.iso

Check and see if it works with a command similar to this one. If it does, then I'd bet it's a xcdroast problem.

Re: wierd cd-burner issue

you may also want to post a bug about this. if it cannot be duplicated by the maintainer then it will get removed but if it is a bug then they can address it ... maybe even before you can confirm it to be one or not.

Re: wierd cd-burner issue

burn

#!/bin/sh
if [ ! $2 == "" ]; then SPEED=$2 ; else SPEED=52 ; fi
time sudo cdrecord -tao dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 speed=$SPEED driveropts=burnfree -overburn -eject $1

If your burner is ancient it probably will not have burnfree. I read somewhere that sudo is not necessary on 2.6.10, but have not tried it. The SPEED thing is used to get a better burn from lower speeds.

USE:
burn foo.iso
or
burn foo.iso 12
