Package: cdrecord
Version: 4:1.10-7
Severity: normal
I tried to write a CD without reading the documentation properly, and
typed 'cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom karan.iso'. This decided that I wanted to
use -2,-2,-2 and unsurprisingly cdrecord hung. I pressed ^C and (being
the simple soul that I am) typed the same command with the softlink
translated to /dev/sr0.
This time, X froze - even the keyboard numlock etc didn't toggle - and I
had to hard-reset the computer. (Sadly, the PDA I've used on other
occasions had broken, so I couldn't try to get in through ttyS1.)
The journalling file systems kicked in, so I don't think I've lost
anything (although they complained about some inodes), but I was a
little startled.
My cdrecord -scanbus:

I've since changed my defaults file so it knows the CD writer lives at
0,0,0 and successfully written a CD ROM.
Oh, my root cmd:
auto BOOT_IMAGE=Linux ro root=301 hdd=ide-scsi
The only slightly weird thing with my machine that comes to mind - I
have an nvidia card and use their proprietary driver. Oh, and I have a
wacom graphics tablet whose Xdriver I had to compile from (open) source.
Cheers.
