This I believed may have been asked before, but I am new to this list
and I hope I can get it resolved.
I have a IDE CDR as hdb and a IDE CDRW as hdc, no problem. I know in
order to use cdrecord I must use ide-scsi, no problem as I had this
exact same setup working with cdrecord when this was a 2.2.x system. Ok,
I upgrade the hard drive, hda, and install 2.4.5 kernel from Slackware
8.0. I always install just what I need,and install things as I need
them, usually from source. That's how you learn.
Ok, I need cdrecord working. No problem, I've done this before. Get the
cdrtools-1.10.tar.gz and have at. builds no problem. Build kernel with
scsi emulation, put the append command in lilo.conf, do the modules.conf
thing and link /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0 and /dev/cdrw to /dev/scd1.
Reboot and I can mount both /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw as ro filesystems.
lsmod shows:
Module Size Used by
isofs 18032 1 (autoclean)
sr_mod 13024 1 (autoclean)

scsi_mod 81904 3 (autoclean) [sr_mod sg ide-scsi]

Ok, I try cdrecord -scanbus, and get he following warning:

Where did the Warning: come from? Trying to burn from xcdroast causes an
error box stating the same and refuses to write.
I did everything like the cd writer how-to specifies, just like I did
before, I think? Did I miss something?
I google searched and found plenty of postings with the same problem,
but couldn't find any with the answer. One thing I did notice that they
all involved 2.4.x kernel. Is that the problem?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like cdrecord doesn't recognize your
cd-rom correctly. Do you have added that drive also to your lilo.conf ?
Normally it would be enough to load the modules without any specific parameters.
Could you post your dmesg-output + lilo.conf parameters if possible ?

I get this same thing with a scsi cdrom at work. I have 2 of the exact same
drives. a Teac cd-535s v1.0a the first one I get that message, the second
works. However, the first one won't pull the tray back in via software.

Is the first drive connected to /dev/hdb ? Does eject work on /dev/scd0 or
/dev/hdb ?
*Kristian
That just means it is not a standard compliant CDRW drive.
I've asked Joerg Schilling about this and that's what he said.
I get the same thing.

Those drives are scsi drives, not IDE. they are the exact same drive but on
different scsi controllers. I *HAVE* swapped them, it's the drive.
The scsi controllers are both adaptec aha-2940u cards.

Ok, but why would having 2 identical cdroms be different? they both have
the same firmware, yet cdrecord -scanbus shows one of them with the wrong
size thing. There's 2 scsi controllers, but if I swap them, the wrong size
stays with the drive, not the controller.

Yeah, when I switched controllers etc it puts the message in different spots.
I'm not sure why it does that.
You'll have to ask the guy who wrote the driver I guess.

I guess the problem was in my module.conf file, I forgot to add alias
scd1 sr_mod. I didn't remember the capabilities error from before. The
warning is still there in scanbus, but everything is now working
correctly.
Thanks to everybody for their help.
