-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
> kernel is Linux-2.6.10-gentoo-r6 Let me guess, it all used to work perfectly until you upgraded to 2.6.10? If this is the case, then I had similar problems. I cannot say for sure if gentoo found and fixed the errors in their own patched version (I use vanilla kernels), however in the default 2.6.10 kernel I encountered 2 major problems (and a third point): I) I *did* have to reinstall (recompile) cdrtools else it bombed out each time with really strange warnings (and I got new coasters each time too). II) Possibly not relevant, but linux-2.6.10 has a bug with ISO-9960 filesystems (*.iso), which may also (possibly) interfere with burning. III) I know you are using ATAPI, but the use of IDE-SCSI emulation would hard-freeze the kernel every time too. Make sure you remove (if you haven't) any IDE-SCSI modules (or built in) totally, as they should not be used anyway with 2.6 ~ if you have it that is. Initially I solved it by using patches from Alan Cox, however I upgraded to 2.6.11 the minute it was released, as I would encounter from time to time (after 10+ days uptime) a hard-lockup of the complete system without warning (and no logs/dmesg output). Basically what I am trying to say is that there are several major bugs in 2.6.10 relating directly to cd-writing. The chances are that if you upgrade/downgrade kernerl's you will solve it IMHO. Maybe this helps somewhat ;-) Greetings Ralph -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCXLCxAWKxH5yWMT8RAv0iAKCbXahS1RS0ksRGZT7bY2jN5Au7MQCcCSL/ YHTJoWBphjz+pfO19bgMiTw= =YUB4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
