Hi,

I have an install of R5A15. I recently setup nuv2disc to burn a few shows onto DVD but for some reason I can't make a dvd. The resulting ISO created by nuv2disc looks fine (I'm able to burn it to a DVD on another machine) so it looks like my (IDE) DVD player isn't properly configured...

I get this strange error when I run (dvdrecord -scanbus or cdrecord -scanbus)

however its clear that the drive is being seen...

from dmesg...
hdc: MATSHITADVD-RAM LF-D310, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

also /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd are both pointing to hdc...

root@mythtv:/myth/nuv2disc# ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 4 07:04 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 4 07:04 /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc

also I've looked at /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup
but when I run 'dvdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus' I get...


root@mythtv:/myth/nuv2disc# dvdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus

Were any solutions to this found? My symptoms and messages are all the same (which is a little frustrating because things worked perfectly out of the box on A12). The only difference I can find is that for my box /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd point to /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/hdd which is where my burner is. I've been a little reluctant to change the links because I know that some systems have worked with scsi emulation for burning but I thought that disappeared with the 2.6 kernels.

I believe the install is *supposed* to set the links to point to /dev/hdd (or wherever the dvd drive is) buy I also seem to recall someone saying that the script that does this was broken. I would go ahead and change the links if I were you.

I think you problem is because the script to change those links is very rudimentary and expects the drive to be at hdc this is a known issue and is being worked on, but I'm not sure if it was fixed by 15.1 or not.

god only knows what the status of cdburning in 2.6 is they break and fix it in just about every version it seems.

gotta love the shinny new not so stable "stable" kernel.

My "installed new at R5A12" system set up /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd correctly (they pointed to /dev/hdc). When I upgraded to R5A15.1, the upgrade changed the links to /dev/sd0. I had to manually relink them to /dev/hdc and also change their group ownership to the cdrom group.

Thanks, I was getting frustrated after changing the links and still not having it work. I forgot about changing the group ownership. I'll try that next.

That did it. I had to make one more change in the commonvars file. It had the burner designated as /dev/scd0 as well. Now everything is up and running again. Thanks for the assistance.

I have this same problem but my devices are linked correctly.

I still can't burn DVD's though. =\
