Hardware Talk :: install external cdrw

Open up "Emelfm As Super User" from the menu.

Delete the symlink at /etc/conf.modules

Copy the /KNOPPIX/etc/conf.modules over to /etc/conf.modules

Right click on the file and choose View and then edit it.

well, gcombust setting ok :

Device: dev=ATAPI:1,0,0
Driver: mmc_cdr

I can read cdrw but can't burn because, i think,
just can't find where to edit :

"hda=ide-scsi" at bootup.
I boot with Usb boot floppy disk.

(ide is hda after emulation)

g combust burn message error :

cannot open 'dev=ATAPI". Cannot open scsi driver
SCSI hardware, eg. ide-scsi if you run IDE/ATAPI drives over.

so close to succes...

So if you open a terminal window and type:

cdrecord -scanbus

is your drive listed?

Your drive should be listed as a SCSI emulated device, unless you specifically disable this emulation at the boot prompt.

not listed only with cdrecord -scanbus
but with cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI.

emulation is fine. at begining modprobe ide-cs and writes ide start hda.

still look for where to put hda=ide-scsi, for booting with...

do you know where is loadlin ? I don'tboot with lilo

in terminal window :
"cdrecord.mmap dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 driveropts=help -checdrive" gives me :
removable cd-rom, philips,pca460rw, device seems to be : generic mmc cd-rw.
combust recignise this but scsi driver don't start...
i'm pretty happy to discover cdrecord anyway :-)
