Re: [Cooker] Kernel 2.2.17-21mdk has streaming problems.
Submitted 08-Dec-00 by Cris B: There seems a strange silence on the list about this - surely there are plenty of other cd burning mandrake users out there... Indeed there are, but I haven't experienced any unusual problems with my Creative 4224 since moving to 7.2. In fact, the same drive under Windows using Nero (one of the better burning progs, imho) produces coasters at 4x. Under Linux, I have had no such problems. -- Anton GrahamGPG ID: 0x18F78541 [EMAIL PROTECTED] RSA key available upon request I remember Ulysses well...

I was the first to report this on Mandrake's bugzilla. Look at bug #1585 reported November 27, assigned to Warly, which seems to have received NO action or even acknowledgement in the elapsed 12 days since submission. Vincent Danen of Mandrake has also reported here the same problem which he overcame by putting both IDE drives on the primary interface and both CDs on the secondary interface. Doing that however loses you any hd simultaneity between the two IDE interfaces. On the same hardware here cdroast works faultlessly on Mandrake 7.1 and on the current cooker, but NOT on 7.2, even with the kernel upgraded to 2.2.17-28mdk. I maintain a partition for each, so all I have to do is reboot to burn CDs. Come on, Mandrake, let's see some action on this _severe_ problem! -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
Re: [Cooker] Kernel 2.2.17-21mdk has streaming problems.
'Me too' A friend has complained that his desktop machine has stopped being able to complete recording CD's since he upgraded to 7.2. I warily upgraded only the kernel package on my 7.1 machine (to get USB, and installed sane, for my new scanner) to 2.2.17-21mdk from my new 7.2 cd's. Boom - xcdroast now makes frisbees... I got the same error - different track (about 70% done). This was using ide-scsi on an mmc compliant CD-RW - Richo MP7060A. This has worked perfectly (never missed a CD) until now. I got the 'retryable error', but cdrecord gave up, and the burner stopped, even though it reported the buffer never less than 96% full... I need to burn CD's on a regular basis, so I'm gonna have to back out the kernel, and figure out how to use my new scanner some other way (sane-net or something). There seems a strange silence on the list about this - surely there are plenty of other cd burning mandrake users out there...

I have a Yamaha CRW8424S on an Adaptec 2940UA controller. The 7.2 kernel is 2.2.17-21mdk. This therefore means the fix was applied to the kernel by Mandrake somewhere between patch level 22 and 27 inclusive. The Change logs for kernel 2.2.17 mention IDE patches in 25mdk and 26mdk without bothering to communicate what was being corrected. I have an ATAPI CDRW (IDE), but yours is SCSI, so this cannot be it. Peter, Is updating a kernel as simple as installing its RPM, replacing /boot/vmlinuz, then editing /etc/lilo.conf?

Does this set up all the kernel modules correctly? Ron, Installing a kernel RPM will automatically replace /boot/vmlinuz, so you just have to edit lilo.conf and run lilo. When I update, I use the kernel source and headers RPMS and rebuild. Before I do this I rename, for example, /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 to /usr/src/linux-2.2.17-21mdk, otherwise it'll get overwritten. I have several kernel versions in /usr/src: 2.2.17-21, -25, -27 etc., so if I get problems with one I can easily switch. Procedure as follows: 1. As root, cd to /usr/src/linux-2.2.17-27mdk and run "make xconfig ; make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install;" 2. cd to /usr/src/linux-2.2.17-27mdk/arch/i386/boot and copy bzImage to vmlinuz-2.2.17-27mdk. I then copy this to /boot and to my dos c:\linux folder (so I can use "C:\Linux\loadlin.exe C:\Linux\vmlinuz-2.2.17-27mdk root=/dev/hde7 ro" to get to linux from config.sys or Win98 desktop). 3. Copy /usr/src/linux-2.2.17-27mdk/System.map to /boot/System.map-2.2.17-27mdk. 4. Edit /etc/lilo.conf to add the new kernel (leave the old ones for safety), run /bin/lilo and reboot. It's fun and you're in control. Regards -- Peter Ruskin, Wrexham, UK [EMAIL PROTECTED] Preferred desktop environment KDE 1.1.2 Linux 2.2.17-27mdk, Uptime 1 hour 40 minutes
