Everything seems to work fine with MythBurn until it actually starts trying to write to the DVD. The DVD light never comes on and I get this error:
/dev/dvd: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 9
I did have a DVDR in the drive, placed there just before I started the process, which took at least 10 or 15 minutes to get to the error.
The problem is I don't remember how to check symbolic links to see if it is even pointing to the right place (even had to look up how to create them...been a while) and a search did not turn up this particular error on this forum or Google. I am getting to be an expert on installing KnoppMyth (for my equipment, anyway), but have just started working with MythBurn and know nothing about it. Is there configuration I need to do or something?
Here is my hardware:
Asrock GE Pro M motherboard
P4 2.4GHz 533 FSB processor
256MB PC133 memory x 2 = 512MB total
WD 40GB 7200RPM main drive, 5GB main, recommended swap (hda)
(I have changed the remaining 35GB to be /home)
WD 160GB 7200RPM storage drive (hdc)
(Mounted as /myth or /mythtv, whichever is standard, can't remember)
Aopen 16x DVDRW +- (hdb)
(newest model with three colored bezels, don't know exact model)
Hauppauge PVR-150 MCR w/remote, reciever, IR Blaster
(all working except IR Blaster, which I haven't even tried yet)
MSI nvidia 6200 128MB AGP video card
Floppy - used, nothing special, don't even know if it works
I am using R5C7 and have modified the following from standard install:
Used vi to modify:
/etc/inet.d/lirc per advice on this board to get remote working
/etc/mythtv/modules/ivtv per advice on this page to get tuner working
Modified mount locations (using vi on fstab)
changed home from /dev/hda1/home to /dev/hda2
(I think it's hda2, assuming swap is hda3)
(copied all files to new location before reboot)
changed /myth from /dev/hda2 to /dev/hdc1
(larger storage drive on it's own IDE cable for performance)
(copied all files to new location before rebooting)
I have no other errors with this configuration (that I have found) and it seems to work beautifully for watching and recording. Everything else I did, I think, is all standard configuration that you have to do no matter what your hardware or personal quirks/prefrences.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
It was permissions for the DVDRW
chmod a+r /dev/hdb
chmod a+w /dev/hdb
chmod a+x /dev/hdb
This can all be done in a single command, but I can't remember how. Works great now.
Thanks go to Dennis Hand of MythDora for this fix.
