From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [fr] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i586) Description of problem: I am unable to burn CDs on my equipment. SCSI controller is Tekram DC390F (Sym53c875 chip). Drive is Teac R56S. Motherboard has a VIa Apollo MVP3 chipset Xcdroast immediately ejects the CD with a drive not ready message.. Gcombust from power tools happily goes along but it looks like it does not record anything Because the two recorders are failing I think this is a kernel issue. Also I see many messages from the scsi controller in this vein: sym53c875E-0-<3,0>: sync msgout: 1-3-1-c-10 sym53c875E-0-<3,0>: sync msg in: 1-3-1-19-f. sym53c875E-0-<3,0>: sync: per=25 scntl3=0x30 scntl4=0x0 ofs=15 fak=0 chg=0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just try to burn a CD 2. 3. Additional info:
Can you try the ncr53c8xx module instead ? It is slightly different for cards that are _almost_ identical...
Also, we have a kernel in rawhide with updated drivers for this SCSI card; could you try this ?
In fact problem was that I had told xcdroast drive was a TEAC R55S (R56S was not in list). It didn't like it. Once I let xcdroast to autodetect drive it worked both with the Symbios and the NCR driver. A minor problem is thatr drive initialisation is now much longer than with RH 7.0 and kernel 2.2
