| 308275 | 2004-12-28 08:17:00 | Is anyone else having trouble with FC3 and CD burning? I tried Xcdroast and the in-built Nautilus burner to no avail. Xcdroast seems to come up with two cd devices (DVD player and my DSE burner) but refuses to write to it. I have appended "hdd=ide-scsi" to the grub menu.lst. I have a line (automatically put there at boot time) in my fstab "dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder ...." Message seems to be saying it cannot find the device (even though there is a nice burner icon in Xcdroast). This is confirmed by the results of "cdrecord -scanbus" which shows my DVD player only. Any help would be appreciated. This is the only problem I have come across in FC3 - it is great otherwise so I would like to get this sorted! |

| 308277 | 2004-12-28 08:39:00 | I have appended "hdd=ide-scsi" to the grub menu.lst. I have a line (automatically put there at boot time) in my fstab "dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder ...."Hmm ... why did you add this line to the grub.conf? The 2.6 kernel doesn't need =ide-scsi. This may be behind the entry in fstab as well. The CD/DVD devices should be listed similar to this in fstab /dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder1 |

| 308278 | 2004-12-28 08:51:00 | Jen K3b - looks to be a great piece of software - but no writing device detected. I put the append in due to something I read elsewhere trying to solve my problem. Everything worked fine in RH9. I will remove the append and see if that solves the problem. Nothing would burn before or after the change with Xcdroast so we will see how K3b goes! |

| 308279 | 2004-12-28 08:54:00 | You will need to reboot for the changed fstab to be re-read. RH9 used the 2.2 series kernel IIRC, which needed the scsi emulation for the CD drives but from the 2.6 kernel onwards, this is no longer required. | Jen (38) | ||
| 308280 | 2004-12-28 09:08:00 | You are quite right about scsi emulation - someone on Fedora Forum didn't know what they were talking about! Some progress but not there yet. We know have hdd as /media/cdrecorder and K3b has an icon for my Cyberdrive. But when I come to write there is no device still. |

| 308281 | 2004-12-28 09:12:00 | I have now got a response for the CD-RW with "cdrecord -scanbus". Have just tried as root just in case - doesn't work either. There is a drop down box for recording devices with K3b - nothing available despite it showing as an icon in the system file tree. |

| 308282 | 2004-12-28 09:15:00 | Just try this: Go ALT-F2 and enter in k3b, and under Options>> select "run as a different user" and enter in root's password - OK. Then look under Settings > Configure K3b > click on the Devices Icon and see whether it lists the devices as able to write. This is to see whether it is a user permission issue. [edit] - just saw your new post - try this anyway and see what info it gives under devices for writing etc. |

| 308283 | 2004-12-28 09:56:00 | Can't see any Options menu. Anyway seem to have found the problem - cdrdao was not installed and is needed by k3b to write. So now the writing process starts and all locks up.

| 308284 | 2004-12-28 10:13:00 | I remember under RH9 the blank CD would automount and I would have to do a command line umount before attempting to writing. With RC3 an icon appears on the screen saying "Blank CD-R disk" but there is nothing to umount according to the mount command. The icon stays even after the cd is removed. | johnd (85) | ||
