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... RikD.

Hate to say this but if it starts the read and fails you may have a hardware problem. Having had a number of CDR drives fail I now usually use cdrecord from the command line ouside of X. Have you tried that method ?

mmm... I have the same settings. It seems that no matter what reading speed I use the process gets interrupted and dies. JLK

Jerry,
I use Ricoh CD-R/RW RW7063A and had no problems with it so far. The drive is capable of 6x speed recording, but I recorded at 4x. Maybe my AMD 500 MHz CPU is not fast enough to feed the drive.
I haven't tried anything besides cdrecord to write CDs.
I usually try recording in dummy mode first ( -dummy parameter in cdrecord) The drive performs all data transfer but the laser stays off.
I also tried to create RW CDs on this drive, and it worked too.
I'm using ide-scsi emulation.
I have the following line in my /etc/modules.conf to automatically load ide-scsi module:
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
Also I have append="hdd=ide-scsi" in my lilo.conf
I'm using 2.4.2-4GB kernel.

My PleXWriter 8423Ti is IDE and as hdd I could read data cd's and play music cds. But, I couldn't burn.
I have used ide-scsi emulation and cdrecord recognizes the PleXWriter as scd0.
My first test was to try to burn a copy of the Office52 subdir, about 250MB. I got an error which aborted the burn after about 64MB was written to the CDR.
Then I tried the "Copy CD" function of xcdroast. At between 15-30% of reading the image off of the CD it stalls. I can watch xcdroast and cdrecord switching back and forth, using KDE System Guard. One sleeps while the other is running. Then both stay asleep. I've tried various speeds of reading and 8 gives the largest percentage, but no setting give 100%.
Also, when I try to mount a data CD using mount -t iso8660 /dev/scd0 /cdrom it complains that /dev/scd0 is not a block device. mount -t vfat /dev/scd0 /cdrom gives the same error msg.
What;s the problem? JLK
