Interrupts causing CD burning problem on 2.6?

Interrupts causing CD burning problem on 2.6?

[craig duncan]

My first attempts at burning on 2.6 resulted in a couple of coasters
(i'm running the "stock" 2.6 Debian kernel: kernel-image-2.6.0-test9-1-386).
Burn speed was 8x (max speed for my PleXwrite 8/4/32A).  With the 2.4
kernel (2.4.22-1-k7 on a 1.3 gig Athlon) i never had a problem burning
at 8x (in fact, when burning completes, it always tells me that my min
buffer size was 93%).

At 4x, i can burn OK on 2.6, though.  At 8x, the burn always craps out
shortly after starting and is completely consistent... 8x fails... 4x
works (see cdrdao output below).  Nothing else is going on on my system.
Running as root or regular user doesn't matter.

After a few of these failed burns ("cdrdao simulate...", actually) i saw
this in /var/log/kern.log:

Dec 24 08:24:44 cdw kernel: cdrom_newpc_intr: 110 residual after xfer
Dec 24 08:24:57 cdw kernel: cdrom_newpc_intr: 104 residual after xfer
Dec 24 08:25:43 cdw kernel: cdrom_newpc_intr: 110 residual after xfer
Dec 24 08:25:55 cdw kernel: cdrom_newpc_intr: 104 residual after xfer
Dec 24 08:26:52 cdw kernel: cdrom_newpc_intr: 110 residual after xfer
Dec 24 08:27:03 cdw kernel: cdrom_newpc_intr: 104 residual after xfer

As a side note, under 2.6, i see these "resid: 110", "resid: 104", etc.
messages in the cdrdao output (below) which i never saw under 2.4.

Here's my cdrdao output:

I looked through the kernel archives and didn't see anyone else
reporting this problem but it seems kind of serious to me (but what do i
know).
