I've got an Ultra 2 w/ dual 300 Mhz processors
running SMP kernel 2.4 from SuSE 7.1.
I can't seem to get the cd burning tools to work
correctly. I've installed the cdrtools package. But when I ran xcdroast (which
ran "cdrecord -scanbus" ), it repeatedly reset the SCSI bus which the three SCSI
hard drives and 2 SCSI CD readers were on. The repeated SCSI bus resets
made the system unresponsive & CTRL-ALT-F10 to the kernel messages, showed
the continuous SCSI bus resets. Soon the entire system froze.
To my horror, when the machine was rebooted, the
root partition (/) had it's superblock destroyed and the backup ones had bad
"magic numbers". fsck was able to repair the other partitions, but the
root partition was unrecoverable.
I reinstalled SuSE 7.1 and after getting things
back to "normal", I tried running cdrecord manually (instead of "trusting"
X-cdroast). The Yamaha 2200 SCSI 16x CDRW is on SCSI ID #5. So I run
"cdrecord dev=0,5,0 -toc" to read the table of contents of the CD in the
drive. cdrecord responds with information retrieved from the generic scsi
cdrw driver and identifies the device as an Adaptec card instead of the Yamaha
drive. It ends with error that the device doesn't seem to be a CDRW
drive.
Trying other device numbers on same SCSI bus gives
same identity of "Adaptec" as the device. the version of cdrecord is 1.9
Is there any known problems with cdrecord or cdrw drivers on Sparc
SuSE?
I don't dare run "cdrecord -scanbus" again because
it triggered another series of SCSI bus resets which gave same OS freeze but
root partition was OK after reboot (HARD REBOOT!)
Any help would be appreciated....:)
