Yesterday I tried to burn a CD for the first time in linux. I have two cdroms, /mnt/cdrom (/dev/hdc) is the reader, and /mnt/cdrom1 (/dev/hdd) is the cd-rw. I was using gnome and opened CD Writer (cdroast?) after putting in the cd-rw cd. It would always pause a while, then I never really could do anything. I may not have known what I was doing anyway as I never really tried to burn a CD in linux before. Now this is what I saw this morning in my log files (via email)... Lots of below.. Apr 13 08:49:13 bart kernel: Additional sense indicates Media load or eject failed Then this but only once.. Apr 13 08:21:45 bart modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-97 Apr 13 08:21:45 bart last message repeated 3 times Apr 13 08:21:46 bart modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-3 Apr 13 08:21:46 bart modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-3 Apr 13 08:21:46 bart modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-34 Apr 13 08:21:46 bart modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-34 Then this lots of times below... Apr 13 08:21:54 bart kernel: SCSI error: host 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 28000000 Apr 13 08:21:54 bart kernel: ^ISense class 7, sense error 0, extended sense 3 And in my grub.conf there is the hdd=ide-scsi in my kernel line. Is this causing the problem? This cd-rw was always automatically detected by the installs. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Hand over the code, and no one gets hurt!"
