Hi,

My Mandrake 9.0 works fine, apart from a small problem.
I have an IDE CD burner (Yamaha CRW 3200 E) that sometimes
doesn't initialize properly. Symptoms follow :

- when I start Gnome, it freezes during 30 seconds to 1 minute
before actually launching the desktop (apparently Nautilus
depends on accessing "supermounted" devices)

- in /var/log/messages, the following message is displayed a number
of times :
        SCSI host 0 abort (pid 20) timed out - resetting
        SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
        scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 20, scsi0, channel         0, id
2, lun 0 Mode Sense 00 2a 00 80 00 

After some of this repeted weirdness comes a final :
        ide1: reset timed-out, status=0x90
        sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 0x/0x caddy

- afterwards, the burner isn't accessible : I can't mount it,
neither can I burn CDs with it.

At other times, it works fine from the start.


I've tried removing supermount but that doesn't help : it
still randomly refuses to initialize. Moreover my CD-ROM
drive is ok. Thus it seems to me the problem is (at least
partly) with the "ide-scsi" emulation. Of course, if I
remove "ide-scsi", I won't be able to burn CDs...

Just a bit more puzzling : I've never had this problem
under Windows ;-(

Did anybody experience the same problem ? Is there a known
fix ?

Regards

Antoine.
