Re: [PLUG] CD Writer

["A.N.Varady" <aharon@simpletone.com>]

I also had difficulty getting my cd-writer recognized, but I found that running 
the script found in the CDwriter howto faq worked for me (after I installed 
cdrecord).


#!/bin/sh

test `whoami` = 'root' || echo "You must be root to execute the  commands."
cd /dev/
umask -S u=rwx,g=rwx,o-rwx
[ -f loop0 ] \
    || ./MAKEDEV loop \
    || for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do mknod loop$i b 7 $i; done
[ -f sg0 -o -f sga ] \
    || ./MAKEDEV sg \
    || for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do mknod sg$i  c 21 $i; done

test `whoami` = 'root' || echo "You must be root to execute the commands."
cdrecord -scanbus > /dev/null
if ! (pidof kerneld || test -f "/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe"); then
    echo "Neither kerneld nor kmod are running to automatically load modules".
fi
report_no_autoload() {
    echo "Ensure the module $1 is loaded automatically next time."
}
if test ! -f "/proc/scsi/scsi"; then
    report_no_autoload scsi_mod  &&  insmod scsi_mod
fi
if ! grep "^........ sg_" /proc/ksyms > /dev/null; then
    report_no_autoload sg  &&  insmod sg
fi
if ! grep "^........ sr_" /proc/ksyms > /dev/null; then
    report_no_autoload sr_mod  &&  insmod sr_mod
fi
if ! grep "^........ loop_" /proc/ksyms > /dev/null; then
    report_no_autoload loop  &&  insmod loop
fi
if ! grep iso9660 /proc/filesystems > /dev/null; then
    report_no_autoload iso9660  &&  insmod iso9660
fi
echo "The following is only needed for IDE/ATAPI CD-writers."
if ! grep ide-scsi /proc/ide/drivers > /dev/null; then
    report_no_autoload ide-scsi  &&  insmod ide-scsi
fi
cdrecord -scanbus

ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
