I previously wrote in about a problem with cdrecord freezing my
system with a particular kernel. The problem has been narrowed down more,
and exists in any kernel I build. The system is all scsi, and the writer
is a Yamaha 4416S. While watching top, noticed a child process of cdrecord
run

Any idea why that happens? It used to work w/o any trouble. The
only thing that changed is that the drive that held the data being burned
was IDE, and now all the drives are scsi. Everything seems fine on the
bus. No errors from debugging information. The system is an amd
2000 xp w/ 256 M

Is it possible that the drive is just going bad? As I understand scsi, copying
from 1 scsi device to another should not make the system flinch. Most IO is
done on the card. What would be a good inidicator of a drive going out? I
don't have another scsi cdrw drive to swap with.

Well... it seems to be fixed Out of sheer desperation, I took the drive
out and cleaned the laser with Qtip and Windex. Now the thing runs awesome
again. I don't know if the cleaning fixed it coincidently, or if the lense
was just dirty. Either way, its working great. Thanks for everyones h
