cdrecord with HPUX 11i

Hi,

I trying to build a ignite boot cd with my new server rp3410 with a cd burner teac dw-224e.
I use a cd writer utility call cdrecord to create my cd. I compile and install the utility with no problem.
I create the device and use some functionnality of cdrecord to check the cd drive and a work fine.

But when i'am ready to burn i get this message with this command:

bash-2.03# cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 /var/opt/ignite/local/uxinstlf.recovery

/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: No write mode specified.
/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: Asuming -tao mode.
/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults.
/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: Continuing in 5 seconds...
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01 (hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM
/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: Invalid argument. Cannot get mmap for 4198400 Bytes on /dev/zero

Does anyone know the problem ?

Thank you

Re: cdrecord with HPUX 11i

You need to research "cdrecord: No write mode specified". From what I have read, it may require an upgrade of the cdrecord version or change the options you use. For instance changing the dev line to read dev=ATA:0,0,0 in some scenarios worked, but certainly that will be system and application specific.

Thank you Cheryl !

I use the latest version of cdrecord and i try this option dev=ATA:0,0,0 , try other write mode and other option with cdrecord and i always get this message :

Cannot get mmap for 4198400 Bytes on /dev/zero

Is it relate to memory ?
