Linux-2.6.0
by Richard A Downing FBCS 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

I was about to update my kernel to the new stable 2.6.0, but notice Jens has added some changes since test11. Is there any reason to suppost the test11 patch wouldn't work? I guess this is just a way of saying 'Can we have a 2.6.0 patch please Peter?' -- Richard A Downing FBCS http://www.freewebs.com/109bean/ Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.

packet-writing and SuSE9.1/2.6.5-7
by The Wizard 01 Jul '04

01 Jul '04

All - I have SuSE 9.1/kernel 2.6.5-7.75-default. I installed the kernel sources, and patched with packet-2.6.5-rc3.patch p00002_dvd+rw.patch p00003_dvd-rw-packet.patch Had some problems with the compile, changed all occurrences of struct packet_command cgc; to struct cdrom_generic_command cgc; and then everything compiles OK. Load the module, do the typical setup pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/cdrecorder mount -t udf -o rw,auto,user,noatime /dev/pktcdvd0 \ /media/cdrecorder cat > /media/cdrecorder/testfile This is line 1 This is line 2 This is another line ^D cat /media/cdrecorder/testfile This is line 1 This is line 2 This is another line umount /media/cdrecorder pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/cdrecorder eject And it all seems fine. But when I remount the CD-RW, the file is not there pktsetup /dev/pktcdvd0 /dev/cdrecorder mount -t udf -o rw,auto,user,noatime /dev/pktcdvd0 \ /media/cdrecorder cat > /media/cdrecorder/testfile cat: /media/cdrecorder/testfile: No such file or directory What am I missing here? The drive is an IDE CD_RW/DVD-ROM combo drive, Sony CRX810E. Machine is a Sony Vaio PCG-GRX500 laptop, Pentium4M with 512MB RAM, 30GB Toshiba HD, and Radeon 9500LY video.

Problem Compiling cdmrw
by Matthew Arnold 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

I just upgraded to Slackware 10.0 and now I'm having a problem compiling cdmrw. make is throwing a bunch of errors, both about cdmrw.c itself and the cdrom.h in the 2.6.7 kernel. Is there a newer version of cdmrw available or is there some new utility that can do formatting for Mt. Rainier discs? Matt

packet-cd for 2.4.27-pre6+
by O.Sezer 29 Jun '04

29 Jun '04

(Since I feel lazy these days, I'm asking without trying anything first ;) What changes are needed (if any) for packet-cd to be applied to kernels 2.4.27-pre6 onwards, since Jens applied DVD-RW support ? Especially, what is the fate of those patches in the "extras" directory? Regards, Özkan Sezer

by Nigel Kukard 27 Jun '04

Anyway DVD+RW support is now available for 2.6.6, patch is available from the downloads section on www.lbsd.net If possible, i would like to know success stories (make & model) so I can list supported hardware as i've heard there are a few drives that don't work so cool.

problem with packet-writing and pdflush
by Georg Chini 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

Hello, when I use packet-writing (latest patch for 2.6.6) on my dual PIII system, pdflush sometimes uses up all CPU-time and the system hangs. I'm using kernel 2.6.7-bk6 and try to write to DVD+RW, which is quite ok as long as write rate is small (Capturing video to DVD, copy of small files). Copying larger files (~600 MB) to the DVD (using cp) still works without crashing the system, but the problem with pdflush is already visible; the system hangs for short periods. Copying multiple larger files leads to a complete system crash. Any idea what I can do to avoid this? I can supply more information(kernel config, drive type ...) if needed. Regards Georg Chini

RE: Problems with disks created by Roxio DirectCD - Seems to be FIXED now!
by Vlad 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Following Peter Osterlund's advice, I upgarded the kernel to V. 2.6.7-rc2. Now I can read *without* any problems CD/DVD created with Roxio's DirectCD and Nero's InCD under Windows XP. Also, unlike with previous kernel versions: There isn't any I/O Error when copying Files larger then 15 MB from UDF formated CD/DVD. So, this seems also to be fixed. Last but not least: Compiling 2.6.7-rc2 kernel, unlike compiling 2.6.6 kernel, was really a straight-ahead job. No problems in compiling the 2.6.7-rc2 kernel, and no problems at all when booting it. I would like to thank Peter Osterlund for his help and advice. Regards, Vlad!
