OK, I know it's probably a silly question, but here goes: How can I determine which device is my CD burner? I'm trying to use k3b, gnometoaster, or xcdroast. None of them seem to recognise that I've got a burner in the machine. I'm sure there's a simple command to find this, but I don't know what it is.
TIA, -Don

I don't have a CD burner here, but if the system recognize your drive, it should show it. - -- regards,

If you are on FC1 or one of the earlier RH distros, the cd burner should be running under the ide-scsi module.
use lsmod to see if ide-scsi is loaded.
If it is, see what it is called. " dmesg | grep sd " (it should be sd0 or sd1 depending on whether you have one or more devices running under ide-scsi, or if you are running other scsi devices as well). Or use dmesg and view the output or view /var/log/message to see what the system identified it as.
Then xcdroast should see it automatically, or you can use "cdrecord -scanbus" to identify the exact device for use.
If the module ide-scsi is not loaded then the burners won't see it.

Yep, I'm on FC1, with a compiled 2.6.3 kernel. The ide-scsi is in fact loaded. I'm not quite sure what I changed, but I can occasionally see the device in random programs. It seems to be identified as /dev/sd0 or /dev/scd0.
If it is, see what it is called. " dmesg | grep sd " (it should be sd0 or sd1 depending on whether you have one or more devices running under ide-scsi, or if you are running other scsi devices as well). Or use dmesg and view the output or view /var/log/message to see what the system identified it as.
The problem seems to be the following error: ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data
This seems to be a problem with the setup of the drive, though until I tried burning CDs it was working OK. It's a Samsung, per cdrecord -scanbus:
scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SAMSUNG ' 'CDRW/DVD SM-352B' 'T807' Removable CD-ROM I'm not doing well at the moment (killer cold) so I'll search more on that error tomorrow.
Then xcdroast should see it automatically, or you can use "cdrecord -scanbus" to identify the exact device for use.
If the module ide-scsi is not loaded then the burners won't see it.
Thanks for the help, -Don

Ide-scsi shouldnt be used , as it is deprecated on 2.6 kernels... You should use the device to record the cd (/dev/hdc for example). I believe that only cdrecord has support to atapi devices currently... This may solve your problem.

Yes I concur as I had the same problem.The program "cdrecord" did not work even when I specified the device as /dev/hdc and symlinked the same to /dev/cdrom or /dev/cdwriter.I solved it by using the front end application "k3b" which is wonderful. Murali

The sintax for cdrecord using atapi is this: cdrecord -dev=ATAPI:/dev/device

Hmm... I tried k3b, which looked great, but had the same problem. It wouldn't even take /dev/hdc. I'll try without ide_scsi loaded and see if that makes a difference. Thanks! -Don

You initially indicated FC1 and did not specify the 2.6.3 kernel (id initialy has the 2.4.22 kernel) Other responses have given information on using cdrecord with the 2.6 kernels.

Yup, my mistake. I'll try cdrecord this evening when I get home. -Don

Run "cdrecord --scanbus" and it will cough up a list of all SCSI (and SCSI-emulated) devices on your system. You should be able to pick it out from the list.
