Hi,

I am running debian unstable and I recently intalled pre-compiled
2.6.11 kernel. I have 2 internal cdrom device in my machine. First one
(/dev/hdc) is just a DVD/CD reader and the second one is DVD/CD
(DVD-R) writer.

In 2.4.19 kernel days, I used to be able to dvdrecord to dvd writer
dvice without any problems using the following command:
$> dvdrecord speed=2 -dao dev=0,0,0 /myvideo.img

Since I had 2.6.11 installed, I can't figure out how to use dvdrecord
to write a dvd image anymore.

I have the following modules:
ide_cd                 37636  0
cdrom                  36000  1 ide_cd
ide_disk               15360  11
ide_generic             1408  0 [permanent]
ide_core              115920  28 ide_cd,ide_disk,....

I have the following entries in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdc  /cdrom   iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto	0   0
/dev/hdd  /dvdrw   auto    defaults,rw,user,noauto	0   0

With this setup, I see the followings in dmesg:
Probing IDE interface ide1...
hdc: DVD-ROM DVD-16X6S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R5002, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

When I try "dvdrecord -scanbus", i get nothing. If I try
"dvdrecord -dev="ATA:1,1,0" -scanbus", i get nothing, but if I try
"cdrecord -dev="ATA:1,1,0" -scanbus", I get the following:
scsibus1:
1,0,0   100) *
1,1,0   101) 'TOSHIBA ' 'DVD-ROM SD-R5002' '1031' Removable CD-ROM
1,2,0   102) *
and if I try 'dvdrecord speed=2 -dao dev="ATA:1,1,0" /myvideo.img', I
get no such file or directory message.

I also tried using "ide-scsi" module and had "/dev/scd0 /dvdrw ..."
entry in the /etc/fstab had the append "hdd=hdd=ide-scsi"
lilo.conf. "dvdrecord -scanbus" sees the dvd writer as scsibus0 and if
I try "dvdrecord -dev=0,0,0 -scanbus", 30 sec later, the system
freezes, I can move the mouse or use keyboard and does not respond to
anything and I had to hit to the power swith to reboot. It looks like
the blank dvd-r has some data.

So, how can I get the dvdrecord working? It doesn't take dev=/dev/hdd
either.

Thank you in advance.

Replying to my own post:

I finally figured it out. It turns out that the current version of
dvdrecord (and k3b I think) is not up to date to handle ATAPI interface in
2.6 kernel. So I tried:
$> growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdd=/mymovie.img
and it works perfectly.
