Hi Tom, You neglected to say if you tested on 7.2 also, but I assume you did.... Your test isn't really going to be of much value (I think) because you are using a scsi writer. All the problems so far have been with ide. I am wondering if I am getting a variation of the problem mentioned on the mandrakeforum.com, which has something to do with the new ide code on i586. I don't have the time to compile a new kernel today, but I suspect that either disabling ata100 or compiling for i486 should make a difference. The article refers escecially to the Western Digital drives, and the drive on which my images reside is a WD AC32100H. I had no problems under redhat 6.2, where I was actually running the cdrecord and mkisofs packages from Mandrake 7.2 Thus, the only difference can be the kernel .... Maybe mandrakesoft should make a kernel available for people who are having problems with this kind of thing, since I think it will be very common. Of course it should also be put on a new bootdisk ....
