Hi All, I decided to reinstall our P75 redhat 6.2 printserver/intranetserver/cd-writing server to Mandrake 7.2 today (if you want to know why I would break something that's working, it is that our other 2 servers run Mandrake, I have a new admin to train up - best not to confuse him with different distros yet - plus we have a local Mandrake updates mirror - which makes it a lot less effort to keep up with updates). Anyway, after about 3 hours of work I had the machine back up and running with everything working, but now all partitions except boot as ReiserFS. Well, testing webCDwriter (http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/~jhaeger/webCDwriter/) proved that not all is well. I get errors saying "loss of streaming" from cdrecord. Note that I have never had this sort of error on this machine, even when people are printing on both printers and browsing the intranet page at the same time. First I suspected the CD, due to the "Medium error", so tried with a new rewriteable, and then with "simulate" which passes -dummy to cdrecord. Then I suspected ReiserFS, so reformatted the spool directory webCDwriter uses to ext2. Same error. Then I suspected the version of webCDwriter I was using (note there are now RPMS for 7.2 on the RPMS page for webCDwriter), so downgraded to the previous version I had compiled for the box when it was Redhat 6.2 I think I actually used the mdk 7.2 rpms for cdrecord and mkisfs on the bosx when it was Redhat, since I had problems finding RPMs of the specific versions for Redhat 6.2. So I am not sure if I should try different versions. Well, I guess that only leaves the kernel that would have change (well, the only thing in the equation). The spool drive is on the same IDE channel as the CD-RW drive (but it was before), and I am not using udma. Has anybody had similar problems on 7.2? The only hardware change I made was upgrading the network card to 100Mbps (no, this can't be it, webCDwriter makes an iso image first using mkisofs, and then just writes the iso to CD). I will attach the error messages. I will go home and do some testing there ... Regards, Buchan
