cdrecord 1.8a29 fails on solaris-x86 2.5 w/ plextor PX-R412C

Hi there,

i have just downloaded, built and installed cdrecord & scg, and i can't
get it to work on my system. when called to do a dummy run or a real
burn,
cdrecord is failing to "read track info" on the scsi device (see
transcript below).

The details of my systems are as follows:

 Platform:  intel (Pentium Pro 200MHz), adaptec 3940UW scsi card
 uname -a:  SunOS wintermute 5.5 Generic i86pc i386 i86pc
 CD Writer: Plextor PX-R412C, revision 1.07
 cdrecord:  1.8a29
 scg:      
ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/kernel/scg/SCHILYscg.i386.tar.Z

I've spent 3 or 4 hours rtfming, installing, building and testing out
stuff, and
now I'm at a total dead end. I'd be super grateful if anyone who has
seen
this kind of thing or knows what the error means could point me in the
right direction.

I suspect the scsi device driver, because i get a sense key = 0xFFFFFFFF
on the step that causes the error. but, if there is a problem with scg,
why do other scsi operations like cdrecord -prcap and -inq work fine?

Much appreciation,
Nico Gianniotis.

Why don't you read the README's in:

ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/kernel/scg/

The Problem is documented and there is a solution.

BTW: why do you write mail and send a news article at the same time?

Thank you for replying. On re-reading, I see now that README.beta
mentions
my symptoms, and I apologise for not seeing it before.

But the fix is for Solaris-x86 2.6 & 2.7 - my system is 2.5. Would this
driver work for 2.5? Is installing scg-i386-sol2.6.beta or
scg-i386-sol2.6.beta-debug the solution you allude to?

Many thanks again,
Nico Gianniotis
