Hi all! While burning a cdrom, xcdroast 0.98alpha8 hanged up. After killing it, the cdwriter doesn't respond to any commands and the tray door doesn't open anymore. The cdwriter isn't mounted (df output and cat /proc/mounts). output from eject -v /dev/scd1: eject: device name is `/dev/scd1' eject: expanded name is `/dev/scd1' eject: `/dev/scd1' is not mounted eject: `/dev/scd1' is not a mount point eject: `/dev/scd1' is not a multipartition device eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd1' using CD-ROM eject command eject: CD-ROM eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd1' using SCSI commands eject: SCSI eject failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd1' using floppy eject command eject: floppy eject command failed eject: trying to eject `/dev/scd1' using tape offline command eject: tape offline command failed eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument vanilla linux 2.2.19 SMP (2x700 Mhz Pentium III Coppermine, 512 MB) SuSE 7.1 distro output from scsi_inquiry /dev/sr1: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210S 1.01, byte_7=0x18 in /var/log/messages: kernel: sr1: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST. Can I somehow do a scsi reset or anything to be able to use again the cdwriter whitout rebooting? Why did this happen?
