I discovered today that for some reason my xcdroast had been removed. I was a bit surprised since I never removed it myself.
Anyhow, I reinstalled it using dselect and tried to configure it. During installation I told it NOT to use SCSI emulation and NOT to make /dev/sg? devices.
But now it takes *ages* to detect and configure my two drives. When I ask it to rescan it just never sees my CDROM, only the CD-RW.
And I get these in my /var/log/syslog:
kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
kernel: hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00
kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete
.
.
.
and so on.Then I tried by allowing it to use SCSI and allowing it to make /dev/sg? devices. Same results with similar delays.
And if I try to eject the CD from CDROM, it takes another 5 or more minutes to open the tray,maybe even longer.
Earlier I was running the 2.6.7 kernel. Now since a few days ago, I am running 2.6.9 kernel (vanilla) on Sarge.
Is there a problem with xcdroast or am I missing something really important. BTW, I do not have scsi emulation enabled, use ATAPI all the time which seems to work with cdrecord.
thanks, ->HS
