xcdroast locks system up

hjlane3 · Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2003 10:32 pm Post subject: xcdroast locks system up

Ok firstly, I'm using kernel 2.4.19, i've heard of this problem with the 2.5 kernel.
When I go to burn an ISO image xcdroast gets through about 9% of burning it to disc, then it locks my whole system up, and have to pull the plug to turn it off. And its wasted 5 cds of mine. Has anyone else experienced this problem and/or know how to fix this? Thanks in advanced.
Let me just clarifiy... I've never had problems burning cd's before. Just the other day i was burning some *.iso's with no problems, and I haven't made any system changes since then either.
Ok, another thing, cdrecord (which i believe xcdroast uses) and cdrdao both do the same thing. The speed of the burning decrease rapidly, then locks up the system.

That's a strange error. Have you been able to find any log files that might indicate what happened?

nope, i've looked for, and searched through my logs, couldn't find anything

That doesn't leave many places to start looking for clues. Perhaps you could set your CFLAGS to be less agressive and re-emerge it? Maybe ebrostig will help you with an strace on the program.

I'm experiencing cdrecord problems too. My system does not halt but burn fails. I'm not sure, but the problem could be the DMA on SCSI system (previously I was using Mandrake Linux with an "old" 2.4.8 and had no problems). Now I will exclude DMA on ATAPI through kernel recompilation and then I'll let you know about the results.

If anyone has more experience with kernel stuff please help.

The 2.4.19 kernel on a Mandrake system works correctly with the burner. Using ATAPI feature of cdrecord 2.0 givies the same result as before (my system does not halt but burn process fails).

Really I have no idea about. Does I turn again to Mandrake

?

However I keep trying. Hope to find a solution.

PS: emerge of cdrtools done with CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2". Not really aggressive...

just did a kernel recompile, and then recompile cdrecord, then did a..
cdrecord -v -d 0,0,0 -speed 16 *.iso
burned for 5 secs, then locked up the computer...

Hi again, I just know upgraded my kernel to 2.4.20 and know, i scsi emulation doesn't even work right, i built everything that was need as modules into the kernel, then put them in /etc/modules.autoload ( just as the install guide says) then put hdc=ide-scsi into grub.conf. my /dev/scsi dir is empty. ?

Hi masseya,

I suspect my problem with cdrecord has to be searched in devfs problems: my gentoo linux cannot mount even the CDR drive giving me the following message

Hi there,

at the end the problem with the burner was at the hardware level, but I'm interested in knowing if hjlane3 has resolved his problem.
