Well, I just wanted to pass on the news that I've tried the new kernel
v2.2.16 nad I have the same problem. Also, to ask if anyone has come
up with any kind of a solution.
I haven't been getting all the responses on my news server BUT I do
use Deja News to catch up every so often. Just to quickly answer some
of the other queries:
I am using a Creative RW6425E (EIDE) drive. I have obtained and
compiled cdrecord V1.8a29, the newest as of a month ago.
I compile my own kernel and I followed the instrictions from the
newest CD-RW How To, which has changed a bit since I originally
implemented the CD-R in my machine in kernel V2.2.12.
Also, I'm very certain its not a hardware problem in my drive or
computer as I can dual boot back into kernel V2.2.13 and all works
just perfectly. Kernels V2.2.14, 15 or now 16 all exhibit the problem
outlined below.
I even tried forcing the old 2.2.13 module to load under 2.2.16 kernel
BUT there have been some significant SCSI interface changes since
2.2.13 and it just core dumps!
Any and all questions, comments, ideas or solutions would be
appreciated. I would like to get a newer kernel working in
preparation to the jump to the V2.4.0 jump.

Unfortunately, there are very few Linux books available. If there
are more than 7500 basic Linux books available from Barnes & Noble
or Amazon.com, I'd be surprised. Sorry, but you are on your own.

Not that I have a solution for you, but things aren't broken at the kernel level. I've
patched my way up from 2.2.12 through 2.2.16 and have written CDs all the way.
I've been using both cdrecord-1.8a29-2 and cdrdao-1.1.3-1 without the funky
write errors you've reported. And yes, I'm using an IDE CDRW with SCSI
emulation. Having not looked at the how-tos recently, I don't know what changes
you're refering to, but they may be related to your problems. Try a kernel recompile
doing things the "old" way and see if that works.
