have you checked if /dev/pg(or is it pg0) exist ?
I tried KNOPPIX(an April version) with my HP 7200E(also parallel port CD-RW) and remembered that I have to create the device node manually as it doesn't have one. after that, everything works.
I have a Microsolutions backpack CDRW. My computer is a Dell Optiplex GX100 so I can't put a burner in the case. Under Mandrake 9.0 the following worked but it will not work in Knoppix:
root@scott:/home/scott# insmod paride
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/block/paride/paride.o
root@scott:/home/scott# insmod parport_pc
Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o
insmod: a module named parport_pc already exists

If I use insmod pcd instead of pg I can mount it and read a disk but I cannot get it to register for burning. Any help appreciated.

no it doesn't exist. I would appreciate it if you could determine which one it should be and give me a quick tutorial on how to create it. I'm still very much a newbie.
Thanks
Open a console and su then enter the root password then cd /dev to change to the /dev directory then ./MAKEDEV pg to create the devices. example below:Originally Posted by scocrys
I used the -n option which simulates the action of MAKEDEV.Code:[01:03 PM Sat Jun 14: stephen @ ~] >$ su Password: HappyTux:/home/stephen# cd /dev HappyTux:/dev# ./MAKEDEV -n pg create pg0 c 97 0 root:root 0600 create pg1 c 97 1 root:root 0600 create pg2 c 97 2 root:root 0600 create pg3 c 97 3 root:root 0600
Thank You,
That worked perfectly.
I am also try to get a microsolutions usb/parallel port cdrw to work. thw microsolution website talks about two modules bpck.o and bcpk6.o. How do I check if it is loaded in the kernel. lsmod? insmod?
I try to do everything that I have read in this thread and I can't get it to work.
i try the cd /dev, ./MAKEDEV pg
but at that point I don't get a response like create pg0 c 97 0 root:root 0600
What is it that I am not understanding or that I am doing wrong?
