After upgrading to FC2 I tried k3b and then xcdroast which would hang when scanning for SCSI devices - finally narrowed it down to and scanning of the bus - $ cdrecord --scanbus Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a34-dvd (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 ...snip.. scsidev: 'ATA' devname: 'ATA' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 <... nothing happens. ever....> This proc shows up in ps with STAT "D" and 'kill -9' has no effect... in dmesg I have this: ================ hdc: DMA interrupt recovery hdc: lost interrupt hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } hdc: status timeout: error=0x00 hdc: DMA disabled hdc: drive not ready for command hdc: ATAPI reset complete ================= and then in /var/log/messages every minute I get one of these: ================ Aug 15 11:16:28 darkrum kernel: ide-cd: cmd 0x1e timed out Aug 15 11:16:28 darkrum kernel: hdc: lost interrupt Aug 15 11:16:28 darkrum kernel: cdrom_pc_intr, write: dev hdc: flags = REQ_STARTED REQ_PC REQ_FAILED Aug 15 11:16:28 darkrum kernel: sector 0, nr/cnr 0/0 Aug 15 11:16:28 darkrum kernel: bio 00000000, biotail 00000000, buffer 00000000, data 00000000, len 0 Aug 15 11:16:28 darkrum kernel: cdb: 1e 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Aug 15 11:16:28 darkrum kernel: hdc: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x02) ================= This CR-W worked fine under FC1, I used it to burn the FC2 cd's.
