CDWRITE crashes on 2nd run

CDWRITE crashes on 2nd run

Post by Fred Mastrippoli » Wed, 26 Nov 1997 04:00:00



Hi all. My linux box RedHat 4.2  2.0.30  486/100 48mb
runs cdwrite fine on the first run.  The cdburner is
a YAMAHA.  But if I try to start another cd, the system
hangs.  My scsi card is an AHA1520 isa.

I suppose I shouldn't complain... I mean it does work.
But I've wasted atleast a dozen cd's trying to get it
to go twice.  I have to shut the machine down. Then when
I bring it back up again it works.  Anyone know a reason
for this behavior?
Where do I start for tracking down this annoyance?

I've no idea what the cause of the problem is, but I'd suggest you try
cdrecord or the newest version of xcdroast (which is now based upon
cdrecord).  I gather that cdwrite is no longer being maintained, but
cdrecord is.

CDWRITE crashes on 2nd run

If you're using one of the earlier ones, there were a
lot of bugs in the bios. If that's since been fixed,
I am not sure what the problem might be...

1. NT = evil, cdwrite CD crashes NT

So I produce a CD with a copy of our web-page for a company that has
limited internet access and wants to see our mpeg videos.

mkisofs -a -V volumename -r -T -l -o image.img <path>
cdwrite -v -s 2 --hp -P <image>

Works fine on my SGI Oops2, SGI Indogo2, Linux boxes, Windows95,
Mac, Sun, Dec (Dig. unix).

However, when I insert the disk into any NT4.0(sp3) machine, the machine
blue-screens on me when I click the CD-ROM icon.

Anyone out there experienced this?

GJ.
