Problem with atapicam burning CD and DVD.

[Matthew Dillon]

    Traditionally the problem with the SCSI/CAM user utilities is that they
    use kernel structures and those structures have changed recently.  If
    your system is up-to-date (new kernel and world had been installed
    together), so the include files are up to date, then hopefully recompiling
    those utilities and any suspport libraries they rely on should fix the
    problem.

    This has been an issue with CAM forever.

:   Recently I did a new install of 2CSNAP-20041218-2330-GCC2.iso, 
:cvsupped to Dragonfly-Stable and rebuilt world/kernel/etc. Last week when
:I was installing desktop software from ports I had similar difficulties
:with K3b and xcdroast. I setuid cdrdao, cdrecord, readcd, and scgcheck.
:Then when I ran K3b from a terminal prompt it complained, in turn, about
:permissions problems. I chmod 660 the /dev/cd0c, pass(x), sa(x), xpt(x)
:devices, added my user account to the operators group and my atapicam
:cdburning is presently working with K3b and xcdroast.
:
:   Initially my problems began with cdrecord/readcd not able to see the
:burner at all, as if it wasn't present. Your problem may be different
:from mine. 
:
:   My hardware here is a Sempron 2800+ on a KD7A (KT-400A) mobo with 256MB
:Ram. The CD Burner is a Sony CRX215E1. I have all of the KDE desktop with
:various other apps installed and am quite pleased with my results. I'm
:even using the nvidia-driver from the ports override. I had a problem
:with sound "spitching" that was solved by installing 4Front's OSS driver.
:I believe the "feedrate" code for the pcm/via_8233 code was a hack where
:timing was worked out on older hardware and the parameters are not right
:for a faster processor. The other problem I had was the NTFS kernel code
:spewing lots of console errors and sometimes rebooting the machine on an
:unmount. Removing the entry from the kernel config and using the ntfs.ko
:module instead took care of that. But I am very happy with my "new"
:junkbox.   :-)
