Hello people,
I've experienced issues with the kernel 2.6.7-2 running on a K8NS
(NFORCE 3 based card).
Noway I have been able to let it work properly, despite I have used
Linux for 4 years.
So, writing dmesg | grep hd it recognizes these devices
hdc = DVD burner
hdd = DVD reader
When I run the command line "cdrecord dev=ATAPI: --scanbus", it says
that it sees something on 2,2,2, but it can't use the device as it
misses the support for that mode (then it means it has to use a non
ATAPI mode).
So the matter is that it doesn't recognize the devices like ATAPI.
Whether I use the module ide-cd instead of ide-scsi, cdrecord recognizes
only the dvd-reader, likely because it's connected to the channel IDE 0
and it's the master device.
So all this let me think to a Kernel bug.
Infact,with the mobo K8V SE Deluxe the two devices used to work
correctly with both them, whether with the module ide-cd or with its
precursor.
Since I've wanted to have a major proof, I've tryed Knoppix live-CD and
I've found out that cdrecord doesn't work there either.
I hope you can help me someway and sorry for my English mistakes since
I'm from Italy.

I had the same problem with a SiS mainboard with 2.6.x, it worked when I
did a "cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc speed=10 bla.iso" though. I never looked what
is supposed to be the preferred way to burn on 2.6.x (I am still sticking
with 2.4.x).

With kind regards,

Thank you so much. So, it ought to work.
Well, I'm gonna wait for 2.6.9 then, it's still on the stage rc2.
I hope it will be out soon so I can give it a shot.
