Cdrecord don't see my cd burner

1

Hi,

I have the need of burning CDs in Haiku, so i have installed cdrtools.
I run cdrecord -scanbus and no target is found.
So i have downloaded and compiled the most recently version of cdrtools (3.01a06)
Ok, is compiled fine but i still obtain:

Ϟ 00:32:52 Ϟ ~ cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 3.01a06 (i586-pc-haiku) Copyright (C) 1995-2011 Joerg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.9'.
cdrecord: No target found.

No target specified, trying to find one...
cdrecord: No target found.
cdrecord: No target found.
cdrecord: No CD/DVD/BD-Recorder target found.
cdrecord: Your platform may not allow to scan for SCSI devices.
cdrecord: Call 'cdrecord dev=help' or ask your sysadmin for possible targets.

What can i do? My CD/DVD burner is a generic SATA driver, DVD A DH16A6S inside “Devices”.

It is unfortunate, but cdrtools does not support all hardware. I have a similar oem Lite-On SATA DVD drive that is not supported.

I get around the issue by copying stuff to my windows partition, beboot to XP and using ImgBurn to make backups.

Could you try if cdrecord detects this drive under linux?

Yes: cdrecord detects my cd burner drive under linux:

mint@mint ~ $ cdrecord -scanbus
scsibus3:
	3,0,0	300) 'ATAPI   ' 'DVD A  DH16A6S  ' 'YA17' Removable CD-ROM
	3,1,0	301) *
	3,2,0	302) *
	3,3,0	303) *
	3,4,0	304) *
	3,5,0	305) *
	3,6,0	306) *
	3,7,0	307) *
mint@mint ~ $

Why under Haiku is not detected?

Could you re-run cdrecord -scanbus under Haiku, but with the -d=2 (or 3, can’t remember) option to enable debug traces?
If nothing special show up, could you file a bug ticket on our bug tracker, with the /var/log/syslog file attached?

If i run cdrecord -scanbus with -debug=2 i get:

Ϟ 19:25:23 Ϟ ~ cdrecord -scanbus -debug=2
dev: '(NULL POINTER)' speed: -1 fs: -1 driveropts '(NULL POINTER)'

Thanks to this ticket now i have a version of cdrecord able to see my cd burner device!
But BurnitNow neither Helios can burn CDs (say to insert a blank CD… But is inserted!)
Someone using successfully any CD/DVD recording software with Haiku?
