Hi,
I've been using the original cdrecord (cdrtools) for more than 10 years now, however I hadn't burned anything in the last 3 months (or even more). With the current linux kernel image from Arch:
% uname -a Linux jvasquez14 3.3.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 5 15:20:32 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I can't get cdrecord to recognize any cd/dvd writer, not the laptop one neither an external USB one... I might be mistaken, but with 3.0 image I believe things worked (can't be sure, as I said I haven't been burning anything for months).
When I try to identify the cd/dvd writers:
% cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 3.01a07 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2012 Joerg Schilling cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open or use SCSI driver. cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
Looks like a missconfigured kernel that does not include support for or for some strange reason does not load the SCSI generic driver Jörg -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js@cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) joerg.schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily
