ATAPI CDRW which doesn't work

ATAPI CDRW which doesn't work

[patrick.mourlhon]

Hi,

I've never could make this CDRW ATAPI to work, if someone could
provide me any clue about the baby. I just said that people on the
kernel mailing list may care of its but. It looks like the baby didn't
even noticed. ;-)

kernel is 2.4.1, but never worked even before this release.
Never maintained speed.

Thanks in advance for any reply,

Patrick Mourlhon

Compile in options 'SCSI generic', 'SCSI cdrom and 'SCSI
emulation support' then add 'hdb=scsi' to kernel parameters.

Now you can use it as SCSI cdrom, and cd-writers recognize it
too.  Eg. for cdrecord you should probably put 'dev=0,0,0' to
command line (I assume you have no other SCSI controller).

is there someone working on direct support for Atapi-cdrw this time?
i would like to use a clean solution and am ready to help testing such
stuff (if existing) with my yamaha atapi-cdrw connected to an asus a7v

AW: ATAPI CDRW which doesn't work -> devfs problems

[Friedrich Lindenberg]

 Hi
 I was trying to burn cds under linux-2.4.1 with 
 devFS enabled. But x-cd-roast (and also cdrecord)
 do not find any scsi drives. I guess they have been
 renamed or something like that, I cannot find them 
 in /dev, nor anywhere in /dev/scsi ...
 Oh, and could anybody tell me, how I stop RH7
 creating /dev/lp* every time I boot ? I don't 
 use devices attached to lp* ....

   thanks & greetings,

I guess the kernel does not care, the problem is the user-space
utilities want to spek SCSI.  You could contact the developers
of cdwriter or cdrecord I guess.

Cable looks ok, removed and reinstalled, used it before with 
a second hard disk. CDRW may be broken. don't know, but at
least nothing appear broken all around the device.
CD was read with an other CDROM reader.
Never seen CDRW working reliably till now. But never used it
through Windows, don't have it since 4 years. I might at least
check if it could work on Windows.

Whatever thanks a lot for your time, was greatly appreciated,

Try disabling DMA on the drive before accessing it.

	Well, this has nothing to do with the above, but is there any
	utility or /proc entry that lets me say to my CD drive that it
	should not work at full speed?

	Basically, some drives make way too much noise when they're
	operating at full speed. When I'd like to listen to some MP3s
	from a burned CD-R, what I'm currently doing is copying the
	files that I want to /tmp and listening from there, but this
	is obviously a dirty solution. :-(


	Thanks in advance for any hints, Roger...

/proc/ide/hdX/settings ? The (current,init)_speed settings there?

Give it a try at least ;-)

I missed the original post, but there is a mount flag "-o speed="
for precisely this purpose.

Hah, this I did not know. Checking the util-linux source, it might
be a really good idea to not about if setting the speed fails.
This will happen quite often on cd-r/w or dvd drives.

That is the ATA transfer rate between the device and the host only.

	I'd like to thank everybody that replied either on the list
	and privately. I didn't know that I could just use the /proc
	entries to change the IDE driver speed with a simple:

	echo current_speed:4 > /proc/ide/hdc/settings

	(Thanks Mark for this).

	I'd also like to thank Andries about the tip on the mount
	option. I didn't find anything in the util-linux (mount)
	manpage before I asked (I'm using Debian potato's util-linux
	2.10q-1).

	The option that I chose was to cook a little proggie to call
	the ioctl to set the speed. This is the most flexible solution
	(as it doesn't involve messing with fstab or being root to
	pass the mount option to mount). Thanks, Jens!

	Thank you all very, very much for the amazing (and fast) help!

You can not it has nothing to do with the speed of the device but the
transfer rate between the host and the device.

Does this actually work? I helped my friend with partly broken cdrom
(worked only at low speeds) and it did not have much effect. It did
not make my cdrom quiet, either, AFAI can remember.

It's no news that vendors only implement what they want to. New
cd-r/w and dvd drives are not required to implement this command,
so it may not work there either.

Take a look at the code for cdparanoia or one of the other MP3 ripping
programms. Slowing down the drive is a standard feature for that type of
program.  (Reduces errors when pulling audio tracks off the disc.)

One would think that you have taken a look at the cdparanoia
source before posting something like this. Guess what it does to
control speed? Reread my message, you totally missed the point.

Sorry. it was late when I answered that.  (Either that or no ocffe, not

	Well, I wrote a little program that just makes this call that
	Jens told me about and it worked perfectly with my hardware --
	using my CD-ROM drive at speed 1, 2 or 4, it works quietly and
	I can listen to MP3s at volumes that I couldn't earlier.

	OTOH, it seems that a paradox is happening: this very same
	drive has some problems (not always reproducible) reading some
	CD-RW discs when it operates at very slow speeds. In this
	case, the best that I can do is to let the drive accelerate as
	much as it wants and then it works ok.

	BTW, Jens, what is the way to set the drive back to its
	maximum speed, without limits? Where could I read more about
	the subject (that is, this and other ioctl's) without annoying
	you? I'm a moderately competent C programmer (only
	moderately), but I know *nothing* about the kernel.


	[]s, Roger...

Yes: pass 0 as the speed, in the ioctl() above.

Re: ATAPI CDRW which doesn't work

[patrick.mourlhon]

You were my best hope, cause i did something similar for
a Hp 720c on parallel port, and it worked. I did excatly
what you've just said.
But the whole thing still doesn't work properly.

I finally could mount the device, then read the first root directory.
But couldn't get more... always got what you see at the end of the
error message.. I/O error, which resulted in no files appearing from
a 'ls' command.

I've got those kind of message now :
