RE: [SLE] xcdroast stalls at between 15 - 30% of read...
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 ?

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

Tried that. The image creation process never gets past about 8-14% before dying. But, I agree with your assessment that moving to scsi is the way to go. I've had too many irq conflict problems, along with PCI cards being too smart for their own good. I had my beast configured with two parallel cards so I could run the printer on one and the parallel zip250 on the other, which is a config that works on my Sony. But, it wouldn't go. Imm wouldn't connect. It turns out that lp1 was a PCI card that either intialized on boot to 278-irq5 or it wouldn't connect at all. I was always getting a device is busy error. So, I took out the second parallel card and plugged the zip250 into lp0 and the lexmarkz52 into the zip drive. Now both work great. I am removing the scsi emulation and booting the CDR as hdd, since it is IDE. I will be getting a scsi card to hook a second CDR to, and will probably swap my parallel zip250 for a scsi one. In fact, from now on I am going to leave my HDs as IDE and all other peripherals as scsi. I have used a usb CDR at work (HP 8200i) and when it is buring a CD you can't do anything else or you'll blow the burn. (Win98SE). So I am not convienced that usb technology is there yet.

Someone said they were creating an iso9660 partition in which to store the image. I looked into that and found that the iso9660 type is not an option in fdisk or yast, so I have no idea how they plan to create one. JLK

Maybe the word ``partition'' is not correct. Actually, burning a CD is a two-step process. First, one creates an image of iso9660 file system in a plain file. This part is performed by mkisofs command. You may even mount this image using loopback device to test that nothing was left out. Second, this image (plain file) is blindly copied onto a CD by cdrecord. So far, I've always been following this two-step process when creating my CDs. -Kastus

I have a question. I have a SCSI cdrw drive and have been able to burn cd's from data stored on my hard disk. I also have a DVD drive which is an IDE device. What would it take to be able to copy from the dvd drive to the scsi cdrw? (I want to copy CD's not DVD's) This does not seem to be an option in xcdroast. Thanks -Pete
