[expert] IDE CD-burner randomly fails to initialize
Hi, My Mandrake 9.0 works fine, apart from a small problem. I have an IDE CD burner (Yamaha CRW 3200 E) that sometimes doesn't initialize properly. Symptoms follow : - when I start Gnome, it freezes during 30 seconds to 1 minute before actually launching the desktop (apparently Nautilus depends on accessing "supermounted" devices) - in /var/log/messages, the following message is displayed a number of times : SCSI host 0 abort (pid 20) timed out - resetting SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0. scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 20, scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0 Mode Sense 00 2a 00 80 00 After some of this repeted weirdness comes a final : ide1: reset timed-out, status=0x90 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 0x/0x caddy - afterwards, the burner isn't accessible : I can't mount it, neither can I burn CDs with it. At other times, it works fine from the start. I've tried removing supermount but that doesn't help : it still randomly refuses to initialize. Moreover my CD-ROM drive is ok. Thus it seems to me the problem is (at least partly) with the "ide-scsi" emulation. Of course, if I remove "ide-scsi", I won't be able to burn CDs... Just a bit more puzzling : I've never had this problem under Windows ;-( Did anybody experience the same problem ? Is there a known fix ? Regards Antoine.

Re: [expert] ide cd burner
If your device for the CDRW is, say, hdc, then add the following to your append line in /etc/lilo.conf: ide-scsi=hdc Reboot, then run "cdrecord -scanbus" to see if it sees your burner. Arthur H.
