Hi, I seem to have some problems burning cd-roms. My setup is: yamaha 8424S scsi aha2940, aic7xxx driver cdrecord -scanbus
1,3,0 103) 'YAMAHA ' 'CRW8424S ' '1.0j' Removable CD-ROM
Simply cdrecord hangs up on timeout around 300MB in. Sometimes process is
I have the same drive on my system, different SCSI card though. I notice you have 2 scsi buses in your system. What card are the other other two drives on? There may be a conflict there, unusual but possible. When getting problems like this it's usually a good idea to bring things down to the bare minimum until you get it working, so if you don't need the other two drives then remove them for a while. If the drive failed everytime then I'd suspect it. But since you appear to have completed at sometime then it's unlikely to be the drive. Also from your report files, I see the Fifo buffer is 4Mb (the default for cdrecord). These drives only have 2Mb. If it's up at 4Mb, and your doing something intensive on the system at the same time, then cdrecord can show 50% buffer full which really means buffer empty! Remember you only need a split second spike of below 50% for writing to fail....
finished successfully but cannot mount CD-rom with error:
mount /dev/cdrom mount: Not a directory
Looks like you have an incorrect entry in your /etc/fstab file. it should look something like this... /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Where /media/cdrom is a directory where the cdrom drive will be mounted. Also look at /dev/cdrom, you should see something like apollo:/home # ls -l /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Nov 8 23:36 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0 where sr0 could also be scd0!! Hope that's of use.
