Hi- I am running SuSE 8.0 with custom kernels. The patch would most likely have to be modified to patch against 2.4.20-SuSE since it is brewed from the 2.4.22-packet patch. Check out http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/patches/packet/2.4/ http://w1.894.telia.com/%7Eu89404340/patches/packet/2.4/ for other patches for different kernel versions. I suspect you might have to run a custom non-SuSE kernel yourself. -Dyson Luescher, Carl wrote:
Hi all,
The issue I am having is, as of this moment, not related to DVD. Although I am more than willing to to test these patches to see if it doesn't resolve my cdrwtool problem with SCSI emulation. My question first is - I am running SuSE 8.2 with a 2.4.20 kernel compiled with packet writing, do you think your patch would cause any problems on this release?
Any advice appreciated, and thanks!
Carl

Hi-
I put another patch at http://dyson.kristenscatbeds.com that is written for Linux-2.4.22. It joins the three patches together.
This includes John Williams' patch, the packet-2.4.22 patch by Jens Axboe and the DVD+RW patch by Andy Polyakov.
I used a Philips DVDRW228 and it worked fine as long as I used cdrwtool with /dev/pktcdvd0 instead of /dev/scd0.
I used the udf format instructions from Andy Polyakov's DVD+RW for Linux site.
I also have a USB/Firewire HP DVD 300e I will try it on later.
The computer does stop responding if I use cp -R (some huge directory with many small files) /cdrom/ -but this was true before as well.
Thanks,
Dyson

Hello,
I've got an NEC ND1300 DVD burner, and the DVD+RW patch from
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW
doesn't work on it: evidently this a firmware bug. Also this patch conflicts with the CDRW packet writing patch and stops it from working.
I've made a fix for this, which can be downloaded from
http://www.pond-weed.com/dvd.html
With the fix, the CDRW patch works, and the same CDRW-style packet writing can be used to write to a DVD+RW too.
If your DVD writer doesn't have buggy firmware, my patch will still allow you to use both CDRW packet writing and the DVD+RW patch at the same time.
