problem burning cd

[tony_yum]

I've just installed gentoo on my computer but I have a problem with burning CD.

I try doing
cdrecord -scanbus

and I get this message

Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a25 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. 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'.

Do I have to load some scsi module?

I took a look at /lib/modules/2.6.3-gentoo-r1/kernel/drivers/scsi/ and there are so many modules so I don't know which one I should try.

figured id check mine and i got the same error.

bash-2.05b# cdrecord -scanbus

but if i emerge k3b i can burn with it

go figure?

The 2.6.x series dosent need the module (ide-scsi). Here take a look at this for more info.

With the new 2.6 kernel there is no need to pretend to have scsi drives. CD burning will fine with ide.:)

But I can't set the cdrecord to use IDE to burn CD. I did
cdrecord dev=help
and I don't see the option of using IDE.

a little background here (http://programming.linux.com/article.pl?sid=03/12/09/1341236)

there is a good thread at linuxquestions (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=129932)

they say you need to get rid of hdx=ide-scsi in grub and use hdx=ide-cd and then use

cdrecord -scanbus dev=ATAPI

Oh I got it working now all I have to do is add ATAPI in front of my device description.

cdrecord -speed=2 dev=ATAPI:0,0,0 the_file2burn.iso

Thanx alot for the help. Don't think I'm going to figure this out by myself. :)
