RE: [SLE] xcdroast stalls at between 15 - 30% of read...
by Dunphy Richard-rdunph01 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

Just curious as to which version of xcdroast you are using, and how you are using it? When I had my IDE CDRW I found that all versions after 0.98d freeze if you do a direct CD to CDR copy. Even trying to create the images on the fly from the harddisk failed. I had to create the image first, then burn. Worked everytime although annoying, and tedious. Hence the move to a SCSI CDRW which I was moving to anyway! As for error message when mounting. This usually indicates that the media you have in the drive is not what you think it is. vfat won't work as it should be iso9660, although some CDRWs are written with udf so you may need to specify this instead! Hope that's of use...

High CPU usage by kapm-idled
by Yannis Zikos 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

I recently upgraded one machine from k6-2 to Duron (obviously also the mainboard). Since that I noticed that process kapm-idled uses up to 90% of CPU constantly. Definetely this is a problem, but I can't think of any solution. Anybody has a clue about the causes? TIA -- ________________________________________________________________ Yanzae Zaeko Madman out of this World ________________________________________________________________

Alsa drivers - Kernel rebuild - punishment?
by Mark Hounschell 29 Mar '01

29 Mar '01

So if you brew your own kernel (2.4.2) all the modules that are in /lib/modules/2.4.2 get removed as part of the make modules_install. That includes the alsa modules. Does SuSE have an alsa rpm that contains these modules other than their kernel rpms? It looks like if I make my own kernel that I also have go to and get my own alsa drivers. I feel like I'm being punished for brewing my own kernel. There should be a suse rpm for this. Is there, and I just don't know where it is??? Would I loose any functionality/sound quality if I dump alsa and just build the emu10k1 driver into my kernel? Or should I go and get the sources. I was hoping to keep this install as clean as possible. Nothing but rpm's. Thanks Mark

Jerry, what speed do you try to record at? My drive is 6x capable (according to docs) but in reality I am able to record at 4x maximum. When I specify 6x speed in cdrecord command it works for some times and then breaks with some error from the drive. -Kastus On Thu, Mar 29, 2001 at 12:48:26PM -0600, jerrykreps wrote: > On Thursday 29 March 2001 11:13 am, you wrote: > > On Thu, Mar 29, 2001 at 09:26:58AM -0600, Jerry Kreps wrote: > > > On Thursday 29 March 2001 03:04, Dunphy Richard-rdunph01 wrote: > > > > Just curious as to which version of xcdroast you are using, and > > > > how you are using it? > > > > > > > > When I had my IDE CDRW I found that all versions after 0.98d > > > > freeze if you do a direct CD to CDR copy.
