[linuxdc-dev] CD burning problems (bad drive?)

[<ac...@ac...>]

     I've been trying to burn the serialslave (from Marcus' site) onto
CD, but my Dreamcast is refusing to boot it.  The script I'm using is
below; is there anything wrong with it or do I need to look for a
different CD writer?  Incidentally, I've tried specifying padsize=0 or
not for cdrecord, specifying -C or not for mkisofs, running "cdrecord
-msinfo" or giving the value (known from previous writes) directly,
and taking the disc out or not between writes, but nothing seems to
work; the Dreamcast goes to the audio CD screen (2 tracks, 2:42) if I
boot with the cover closed, and if I try "play" from the menu it just
resets.

     System info:
	- OS: Linux (2.2.16)
	- CD writer: Smart and Friendly CD-R4012 (SCSI drive; the
	             cdrecord README says it's supported, and it works
	             fine for ordinary audio/data writing)
	- cdrecord: version 1.9

Script:
-------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

tmpdir=/tmp/makedisc
dir=`echo "$1" | sed 's/\/$//'`
if [ "$2" ] ; then
	ipbin="$2"
	exclude=""
else
	ipbin="$dir/IP.BIN"
	exclude="-x $ipbin"
fi

if [ $# -lt 1 -o ! -f "$ipbin" ] ; then
	echo >&2 "Usage: $0 <fs-dir> [IP.BIN-path]"
	echo >&2 "If IP.BIN-path is not specified, it must be in <fs-dir>."
	exit 1
fi

rm -rf $tmpdir
mkdir $tmpdir || exit 1
dd </dev/zero bs=2352 count=300 >$tmpdir/audio.raw
cdrecord -multi -audio $tmpdir/audio.raw
rm -f $tmpdir/audio.raw

msinfo=`cdrecord -msinfo`
if [ ! "$msinfo" ] ; then
	echo >&2 'cdrecord -msinfo failed!  Aborting.'
	exit 1
fi
mkisofs -l -C $msinfo -o $tmpdir/disc.iso $exclude $1
dd if="$ipbin" bs=2048 count=16 of=$tmpdir/disc.iso conv=notrunc
cdrecord -multi -xa1 $tmpdir/disc.iso

rm -rf $tmpdir
