[olug] cdrecord and breezy badger

[Joe Gulizia]

Errors when using k3b to burn an audio cd or data cd:

Debugging output says "cdrecord" is not compatible
with kernal 2.6 and I need to go back to kernal
2.4....

Here's what else I've found:

The actual command line you used to run cdrecord would
have been helpful.
It would have given information about the device
designation you used.

The 2.6 kernel prefers using the ATAPI interface over
the SCSI interface
for cdrom access.  You do have the right module loaded
- ide_cd.
Unfortunately, you also have the wrong module loaded -
ide_scsi.  Remove
it with "rmmod ide_scsi".  Better yet, get it out of
your bootup
sequence by editing /etc/modules.  If you have both
modules loaded, you
are not going to have an easy time getting cdrecord to
work.

By the way, that's a healthy list of kernel modules. 
Might want to
spend a weekend building a trimmer kernel.  All that
stuff is eating up
RAM.  The lspci command will help you immensely in
choosing just the
right kernel options.  Build your own kernel; don't
use the Debian ones.
They don't know what hardware your machine has.

Here's a list of my modules on a homemade machine with
a VIA chipset and
an Athlon cpu:

     Module                  Size  Used by
     usblp                  12928  0

     parport                36232  2 lp,parport_pc
     usb_storage            69248  0
     scsi_mod              127808  4

     ide_cd                 42052  0

I get these modules to load with an /etc/modules file
that looks like:

     ide_cd
     video
     uhci_hcd
     ohci_hcd
     ohci1394
     usb_storage
     parport
     parport_pc
     natsemi
     mii
     via_rhine
     ac97_codec
     via82cxxx_audio

Notice that this list is much shorter than the one
produced by the lsmod
command.  Modules will take care of their own dependencies
