The latest cdrecord upgrade has completely broken CD burning on my system; the last audio CD is **quite** amusing and not unpleasant to listen to, but nothing like the original sound.
rpm -q cdrecord? on my system I have cdrecord-2.01-0.a27.4.FC2.3 which as far as I can tell is the latest one.
cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom -dao -useinfo *.wav
are you trying to burn an audio CD? have you considered cdrecord -v dev=... -audio -pad *.wav always worked here...
Lately, I've noticed the following things:
o "cdrecord -scanbus" produces the line 1,0,0 100) 'SONY ' 'DVD RW DRU-510A ' '1.0c' Removable CD-ROM but "cdrecord dev=1,1,0 -inq" produces the lines scsidev: '1,0,0' scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0 cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/sg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'. "cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -inq" produces info that looks correct.
try cdrecord dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 -inq although ide-scsi is no longer required you do need to tell cdrecord that it needs to use an ATAPI device.
Alternatively you could put this info into /etc/cdrecord.conf
the kernel-2.6.8 issue is well documented and does indeed stop you from burning CDs as a normal user. Downgrading is not too hard and is my current solution of choice...
