After upgrading from FC6 to F7 gnomebaker stopped working.
After poking around again I found that the reason is that gnomebaker is
trying to open /dev/sr0 as the scsi recording device, but in my F7 that
doesn't exist.
However these do exist:
[root@rjm src]# ls -l /dev/*sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/cdrom-sr0 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/cdrw-sr0 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/cdwriter-sr0 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/dvdrw-sr0 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/dvd-sr0 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-06-30 10:44 /dev/dvdwriter-sr0 -> scd0
So I added the line:
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/sr0
to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99local and gnomebaker works.
Why does it get it wrong? Well...
[root@rjm src]# cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17
drive name: sr0
drive speed: 24
drive # of slots: 1
Can close tray: 1
Can open tray: 1
Can lock tray: 1
Can change speed: 1
Can select disk: 0
Can read multisession: 1
Can read MCN: 1
Reports media changed: 1
Can play audio: 1
Can write CD-R: 1
Can write CD-RW: 1
Can read DVD: 1
Can write DVD-R: 1
Can write DVD-RAM: 1
Can read MRW: 1
Can write MRW: 1
Can write RAM: 1
so I guess gnomebaker assumes there is a node called /dev/sr0, but
obviously F7 is trying to be friendly by creating specific nodes based
on the capabilities of the device and then I assume an application can
open the appropriate device.
Should gnomebaker be changed? or would it be friendly for F7 to also
create the generic node /dev/sr0 at startup as well as the capability
specific nodes?
Thanks
