Hi, i can reproduce an oops on 2.4.18 when trying to fixate a CD-R. i use the Phillips CD2600 CD-Writer attached to an old ISA aha1510 SCSI card. cdrecord was used (1.10) to create the cd. i changed all cables to assure that they are ok and my MO (FUJUTSU) works fine with the controler. the writer works fine with windows so i dont think that either the controler nor the writer is broken. the oops's are from my i586 machine, running debian/testing. i can not test this issue wihh the 2.4.19 kernel, since it hangs on boottime during partitionchecking, even with -ac4. i tested the writer on my p3 with an adaptec controler useing the NCR53C8XX module with kernel 2.4.18. there i can _not_ produce an oops, but i can only fixate a cd-r one time per module load. i even tried the open tray, close tray trick descriped on the cdrecord page. after un- and reloading the module i can fixate a cd again. the problem persists with 2.4.19 (this ones debian/testing too). by bd -- PGP/GPG Key at http://bc-bd.org/pgp/bd@bc-bd.org.asc ---------------------------------------------------- If you've done six impossible things before breakfast, why not round it off with dinner at Milliway's, the restaurant at the end of the universe? -- Douglas Adams, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe"
