DVD Writer detection

[mururoa]

Hi,
I have 1 dvd reader and 1 dvd writer in my case.
The dvd reader is just not detected
The dvd writer is detected but cdrecord or k3b dont see it. However I can mount a dvd on it with mount /cdrom.
The detection is like that :
acd0: DVDR <TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223F/SB00> at ata5-slave UDMA33
This is a SATA dvd writer.
If I try to add /cdrom in k3b it just dont works (could not find).
What can I do ?

Does the BIOS see both drives? It would be vary unusual that BIOS see them and that the kernel doesn't see them. You will have to post more details starting with your hardware set up. How the drives are connected
to the mother board? You said that one is SATA. Is the another SATA or IDE? If it is IDE do you have IDE hard drive on the same IDE controller with HDD and similar things? You should also post dmesg. Also post the position of the pins on the back of your drives. Muster, slave, or cable determined?

Why do you believe that you should be able to use K3b? Just because you
installed program it doesn't mean that it is configured. Can you state the configuration steps
which you undertook.

K3b is just idiotic GUI for cdrtools and dvd+rw-tools so I would suggesting
making sure that you can use those tools from the shell before trying to
configre K3b. You should start by reading http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/...ating-cds.html

If you are not familiar with concept of permissions from Unix you should
read about that as well. You should also probably read
man pages for devfs.conf, fstab before having any chance to get it K3b to
work right.

Cheers,
OKO

P.S. K3b uses libmad library to convert MP3s to wav necessary for music
CDs. I am not sure what it uses to prepare mpeg-s for writing on the DVD but if I have to guess it is mplayer, ffmpeg, and DVDauthor. All those tools are far more easier to use from the command line.
If you just want thinks to work maybe you should try PCBSD.

k3b requires the cd/dvd to be a SCSI device so you need to

As root:

 kldload atapicam

before k3b or any apps that require SCSI device names.

The bios see both. The reader is an ATA drive and the writer is a SATA drive.
I guess there is not much hope with 7.0 about the ATA drive since the controller chip is not supposed to be supported (Asus P5Q MB).
Windows see an use both drives so there is no connection issues.

Well both drives were setup correctly on FreeBSD installation so I did nothing special but since that I changed MB + CPU.

I guess I have to do that.
cdrecord also dont detect the drive.

Already tried. Didnt like it too much but good project.

Edit : just retried a detection with cdrecord and it works. Kinda strange since I did nothing since I kldload atapicam and it detected nothing just after ...

About the writer I can now see it and I guess use it. Not tried yet.
The problems were :
- atapicam not loaded --> not detected by cdrecord
- bad rights on device files --> not detected by k3b with the non-root user after cdrecord detected it with root
About the reader, guys dont waste your time on that unless you are seriously interested in making it working. I mean the ATA chipset on the P5Q MB is some marvell chipset wich is not supposed to be supported in 7.0. So now that I can use the writer the fact that I can't use the reader is not a priority at all. Lucky me I have no IDE HD.
In the same story the onboard GB lan is not usable too with 7.0 and I had to add a PCI network card.
I guess I had to better triple check the hardware support before choosing the P5Q MB but since it was build around a not so new P45 chipset I assumed all should be working ok. Wrong guess but until 7.1 or 8.0 I can live with the add-on lan card and only the writer.
