Subject: CDROM stop's working 15mins after being mounted

Hi, I recently noticed with 2.4.17 using scsi cdrom emulation my cdrom stop's functioning after monunting it, (and reading from it). I think hafta umount and remount it, I didnt see these problems with 2.4.16, has anyone else had this problem?

I wanna watch it all go down - tool.

I have no problem with using scsi cdrom emulation ,
using teac 58E RW and ide-scsi emulation.

Only problem I found is when writing TOC (within cdrecord)
I have to wait until it finished (I cannot even change console)
to be more strange, I have that problem only at work
PIII 500Mhz with TEAC 58E but on
PII 633Mhz with TEAC 54E and PPRO 200Mhz with TEAC 58E I haven't
that problem. Note that was for 2.4.14-17

With kernel 2.2.19 there is no such behaviur.

Mitsumi CR-4804TE here, also no problems with 2.4.15 (with the second
cut of Viro's iput() patch, more or less making it 2.4.16), and a few other
'random' 2.4.x's, 2.4.13 and .14 spring to mind.

Ah, I'm not the only one seeing this then. During the 'fixating'
stage of burning I see what you describe. I THINK it's more to do with
it hogging the bus (for whatever reason), and nothing being able to be
swapped in. Could be a total interrupt hog?

PII-400 here, on:

the aforementioned Mitsumi CR-4804TE CD-R/RW on hdb (my actual
system is on hda, only a pure data drive is on hdc, no hdd)

I don't recall this with the various 2.2.x kernels I ran until
switching to 2.4.8 either.

The drive doesn't disconnect so it does indeed hog the entire bus. However
for non-X11 consoles a console change doesn't need data off the machine so
it doesnt really explain why that would also fail.
