Hello all. I am having problems with kernel panics while burning CD's on my Plexwriter 40x CD-RW. The panics occur when burnproof is activated (as shown by the led's on the front of the drive), but they only happen some of the time, about half the time it works just fine. When they do happen, sometimes I get my capslock and scrolllock led's blinking and sometimes I don't Either way I have to do a hard reboot of the system - the computer doesn't respond to any keyboard input and the mouse and screen freeze. My system information is below: AMD Athlon 2200+ ASUS A7V333 Motherboard 512 MB PC2700 DDR RAM 2 40 GB Western Digitel HD's (on primary channel) Lite-On DVD (secondary channel, master) Plextor 40/12/40 CD-RW (secondary channel, slave) ABIT GeForce3 Linksys NIC I've tried looking through the list archives with no luck (is there a search function for the archives somewhere?) I've tried to use the 2.4.19 kernel, compiling with the .config file created by SuSE's install, but I get errors something like 'can't access pg*'. I'm not very experienced with compiling kernels, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong there.. With the stock kernel, my CD-RW is configured to use ide-scsi and is at /dev/scd0. I've also tried updating the cdrecord program using Yast Online Update and with rpm's myself. Mandrake 8.2 burns CD's fine (it also uses a 2.4.18 kernel) with the exact same setup. It handles the Burnproof fine without panics, so my guess at this point is something with the SuSE kernel, or something else specific to SuSE 8.0. Does anyone out there have any ideas on what I can do to get cdrecord to work properly? Thanks everyone, Justin enderak@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
