? I haven't noticed this. Well, I have Flatfish, Alan Connor, and anything crossposted to .*advocacy set to score -9999. Happiness is a decent killfile.

Message-ID for this message? There's a fair amount of traffic here, and stuff gets lost in the shuffle.

This is not good. USB usually works better than parport.

Try forcing the device with dev=-dev-scd0 or dev=-dev-sg0 and using -prcap instead of -scanbus. -scanbus doesn't always do the right thing, especially with IDE devices, where you must add "dev=ATA:" to the -scanbus if you want to get anything useful back. I'd test this if I had a CD-R* anywhere that wasn't IDE.

All of those are *frontends* to cdrecord. If cdrecord isn't working, none of its frontends will work.

Well, this is annoying. I don't know what could be causing this.

Forget parport operation, then. Trying to debug a module that hardly anyone uses these days is not very productive. Keep trying with USB, and dig up the Message-ID for your original post on this problem, so other people can look at it.

Nope. dev-sda is the first SCSI (or pseudo-SCSI) disk, whole disk. SCSI CD-R* devices aredev-scd0-9 ordev-sr0-9. SCSI tape devices aredev-st0-9, SCSI generic devices aredev-sg0-64.

Nothing will be created indev unless Ubuntu uses devfs or udev, anddev-scsi-host0-bus0-target0-lun0-disk won't be created unless the devfs-udev config is set up to create those.

There's got to be a way to get this working. I don't know exactly what it could be, though, since usually USB CD-R* devices just work. If you can plug the thing in via USB and mountdev-scd0, you should be able to cdrecord with dev=-dev-sg0 . Oh well.
