ide-scsi cd-rw woes (creative cd-rw blaster)

Post by Ron Cresswel » Sun, 14 Jul 2002 12:55:37



Hi Folks,

Need some help here. Cross my heart and hope to die, when I first
installed this CD-RW device on my linux system and I piped mkisofs into
cdrecord, it worked and somewhere I have the disc to prove it. Of course
I can't remember the exact form of the cdrecord command I used but I'm
sure I copied it straight from the CD-Writing-Howto file. I'm sure I'm
doing the same thing again below, but now I get this type of error
*every time* I try to write anything. The device (0,0,0) is correct, as
the light flashes on the drive, and the hardware works because I can
write CD's without a problem under windoze. You'll notice that the
command below tries to write in dummy more, doesn't try to fixate the
disc, and is only writing at speed=1, so I'm not exactly asking a lot
here! Now it is conceivable that when it worked before I only had the
one CD drive in the system and now I have both the CD reader and the new
CD-RW present, possibly* off the same ide bus, but (a) I'm not
trying to copy from one CD to the other, and (b) like I said, it works
under windoze.

Any clues anyone? Error messages are below, and "cdrecord -scanbus"
returns "0,0,0     0) 'CREATIVE' 'CD-RW RW1620E   ' '0.20' Removable CD-ROM"

1. broken 2.2 IDE CD-RW (was Re: plain 2.2.X: no ide CD-RW?)

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Sorry, I was referring to the backport of the 2.4 IDE code to 2.2.
I'm currently using ide.2.2.19.05042001 successfully, which I got from:

  ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick/ide-2.2.19

I've used several similar patches, though.  Stock 2.4 kernels work
fine with my CD-RW as well; however, I've now discovered that plain
2.2 kernels do not.  This could easily be a long-standing problem,
probably at least a year old - I've only recently stumbled across it,
though.

Since I have a solution (use the 2.4 IDE backport), this isn't
critical; however, since many people still rely on 2.2, and I'd like
to use a stock 2.2 kernel if possible, I'm willing to spend some time
debugging this.

Thanks!

(A bit of background: Before I got my CD-RW drive last summer, I
bought an OnStream DI-30 drive.  This drive was then only supported on
2.2 with the 2.4 IDE backport, and so I've used this drive
successfully with 2.2.16 + 2.4 IDE patch, and a similar combination
since.  Since stock 2.2.19+ now support this drive through the osst
patch, I thought I'd try it out.  It does work, but at the cost of
losing my CD-RW.)
