Has anyone had any success using gtoaster as a CD authoring frontend with
ide-cd instead of ide-scsi? I have managed to get cdrecord to detect my
ATAPI drives, but can not seem to find a configuration that works. I can
write CD's from the commandline using cdrecord, but haven't managed to get
gtoaster working. I've spent a few hours on google looking for info, but
to no avail.

My scanbus command in gtoaster is 'cdrecord dev=ATAPI -scanbus'.

TIA,

Jason.

Scanbus as presently written doesn't work, however if you try the
equivalent of cdrecord dev=/dev/hdX with the rest of the parameters you
need, you will probably be able to use the command line utilities to
write a CD under 2.6. Incidentally, you'll still get an error about
using the device name but it seems to work in spite of itself.

Thanks for your reply. I finally managed to get gtoaster to burn a CD.
Gtoaster will not automatically find an ide CD-Writer if you have ide-scsi
disabled, so it needs to be added manually. Simply changing the SCSI ID
to the device name will pass the correct dev=/dev/hdX option to
cdrecord. In my case, I needed to change the scsi id from 0,0,0 to
/dev/hdc.

Thanks again,

Jason
