ok, I believe it sounds like you dont have cdrecord etc installed,
and so koncd cant find the cd burner (I *think* cdrecord provides this kind
of 'scan' functionality).
If xcdroast finds your cd-burner, then it probably is setup
correctly on the OS side.
xcdroast cant find your cdrom? very strange...... So basically, can
you burn a cd (maybe build an iso image of your home directory and burn
that) from xcdroast?
Remember that you have to setup xcdroast as root.... actually, under
KDE I think you are forced to run xcdroast as root because KDE complains
about it if you set the suid bit. BUt run it as root and setup your
burner/cdrom (if you can) plus the directory where you will put adhoc iso
images to burn.
Give it a try anyway...but it sounds to me like koncd install is
broken - type "rpm -qa |grep cdrec" for me and see if the cdrecord rpm is
installed.
Perhaps KreateCD relies on these packages as well? Its funny, maybe
the dependencies are broken??????

I cant tell you which devise the software is using as the available
cdwriter
field is blank.
Both KonCD and KreateCD find the CDrom but not the CDwriter and
Xcdroast
finds the writer
but not the CDrom..?
I believe Xcdroast uses its own library files ??
Is there any commands to type in which will give me the variables
for listed
devices ?
Thanks
Chris
Your grep wont work cos its /var/log/messages
Your insmod doesnt work cos you already have the ide-scsi
module
installed
If you have ide-scsi installed, then you must have scsi
support
(????someone confirm????)
Which device is your cd burning software trying to use? From
memory
cd burners have to use the /dev/sg* devices for burning.... a
/dev/scd*
device will treat it as a CDROM (its a problem with a long history,
basically because burning CDs is a low-level operation they provided
the sg*
devices so you could have more direct control over the cd-burner
without the
kernel being involved in every step.
Its difficult to diagnose over text :)
IM having difficulty remembering the finer points, cos when
I had
the ide burner in there I also had a faster scsi burner in there so
I setup
the ide one (ide-scsi) and didnt use it for ages. Thats why I took
it out
and put in a DVD.

Simon ,
With regards to setting up a cd burner, what relevant info
do you
need to
form
a diagnosis? Reading a bit more on the subject would i be
right in
saying
that if
i do not have scsi support installed/configured then no
matter what
i add to
the
various /etc/ files it still wont work ?
when typing "grep CDROM /var/messages" i get back - " no
such file
or
directory"
/sbin/insmod -p ide-scsi responds with
"using/lib/modules/2.4.3-20mdk/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.o.gz"
"insmod:a module named ide-scsi already exists"
Is this the best way to check for scsi support ?
Thanks for the help
Chris

Yeh, I had my HP 6x2x2 rewriter working under M8 a
while
back (I
took it out to put in a DVDROM)
What particular problems/errors are you having?
Can you explain the steps you are taking to get scsi
emulation
working?

Afternoon Pluggers....
Is there anybody within the group that is using
Mandrake 8
that has
managed
to get their IDE Cd writer to work ?
I have printed off at least 4 different styles of
EASY steps
to
setting up
scsi emulation and frankly I am beginning to wonder
if there is such a thing as EASY. All four have
stated that
a
recompiling of
the kernel is not required yet following the steps
as
written does absolutely nothing.
I have a Standard PC AMD Duron 800 , 192mb ram
soltek 75KAV-X Main board , 20 gig hard drive
11x spin Sony CDRom and a Sony CDU928E Writer
Mandrake 8 Kernel 2.4.3
Can anyone point me to a not so easy scsi- ide
emulation or
perhaps
even a
graphical installation tool to work with
( Too much to ask for ;-) ok then )
Thanks
Chris Newbie
