 |
|
Installed Gentoo 2005.0 from LXF 68 DVD. Took me three nights (I have a dayjob) to get to X (Gnome). It is a wonderful experience. I installed cdrutils to get cdrecord which is what I used to use when I was running FC3. On Gentoo cdrecord -scanbus says something about not liking 2.6 kernels and does not see my CD writer. FC3 was also running a 2.6 kernel but I believe they had a patched cdrecord.
Anyway, is there some way of writing CDs while running 2.6 in Gentoo 2005.0 or do I have to downgrade to 2.4. I would hate doing that considering that I have got all my other hardware (Scanjet 5300c and Laserjet 1200) working in Gentoo 2005.0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

This has just come up on the Gentoo mailing list. cdrecord DOES work with Gentoo and a 2.6 kernel, or you wouldn't have got the cover disc in the first place 
The message is only a warning, and a very old one at that.
Try cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus, although I just use standard Linux device naming, e.g. cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc blah...
