Status of ide-cdrom writing?

Hello,

I sent this email to the cdwrite ml a while ago, and the conclusion was that it was a kernel bug... so I forward here ;-)

I got the same result with 2.5.58 (I need to compil a 2.5.59...).

Thank you very much ;-)

Subject: Status of ide writing?

Hello,

I got:

Should I compil again with ide-scsi?

I can confirm it worked this morning with 2.5.58.

I do know vcdxrip hasn't worked since 2.5.42 or so.

This is a 1/2 gentoo, 1/2 my fault box.

-pee

Well, lots of people have CD-writer working, as you don't tell which unit you have, I don't know wheter it's a CD or a DVD writer one???

And are you really not using ide-scsi?

Is there anybody which has success with DVD-writer under 2.5.59 without ide-scsi?

Thank you very much,

Grégoire

to check that it really worked:

rudmer:~ # cmp test_file_for_burning /mnt/cdrom/test_file_for_burning rudmer:~ #

so it works for me(TM)...

I doubt you could write a DVD-R with such an unit, or am I wrong? And I should also add with DAO/SAO ;-)

Thank you very much,

Grégoire

oops, as i was reading this thread I thought lets try to burn again, as it did not work around 2.5.56.
your first question was: is it possible to burn without idescsi under 2.5.56? so i answered that one and so i mist the 'dvd' part in your second question...

if it can burn in sao/dao i don't know, will try that later
