burning cds in linux with pci

[Hullboy]

Hi

I am relatively new to linux. I'm using slackware and I have a TDK 40x24x10 PCI burner.

When I try running cd record I get a socket error message.

I want to set up cdrecord again but cannot find much information on setting it up for non-SCSI. I think I need to set up SCSI emulation.

Can anyone out there get me pointing in the right direction with some advice or a link?

Has anyone had this burner working with linux?

I hope someone can help.

Thanks

PCI? Do you mean IDE?

I'm sure there's a CD Burning HOW-TO at Linuxdoc.org. But try running 'rmmod ide-cd' and if that succeeds 'modprobe ide-scsi' if that succeeds type 'dmesg' and the last few lines should mention a SCSI controller and your CDR.

Yeah, I meant IDE

No wonder google didn't turn up much of worth

Thanks Nothinman

I'll check out the how-tos again and let you know how I get on...............

Ok, first thing you need to do is add the following line to lilo.conf (somewhere before you define os's:
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
where hdd is your cdrw. Run lilo.

If you are running the kernel that ships with slack, as root do a /sbin/modprobe ide-scsi.
If you built your own kernel, you need to enable SCSI support under IDE devices, and enable SCSI generic support and SCSI cdrom support under SCSI support.
