Hi,
Since about 2.4.9 I have not been able to burn CDs. I get the following
message in the logs. I have also noticed that the system becomes less
responsive when large applications, like netscape 6 or staroffice 5.2
load.
scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 10818, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Synchronize Cache 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

scsi0 : channel 0 target 1 lun 0 request sense failed, performing reset.
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
scsi0 : channel 0 target 1 lun 0 request sense failed, performing reset.
My setup is as follows:
Hardware:
P III 650Mhz --- 256 MB --- P3B-F MB
NVidia Geforce DDR - AGP Video Card
IDE0 - Pri: HD - Sec: HD
IDE1 - Pri: CD-ROM - Sec: CRW6206A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Kernel:
2.4.17 compiled with gcc 3.0.2
EXT3 in-kernel
AGPGART module
NE2K-PCI in-kernel
IDE-SCSI in-kernel
EMU10K1 in-kernel
USB in-kernel
Software:
cdrecord 1.10
XFree86 4.1.0 running with the driver from NVidia and agpgart
I have a machine, P II 266 - 256MB with a similiar configuration
minus the XFree + NVidia, the sound, and the USB support and a
Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 8100 and it is burning perfectly.
Any ideas as to what could be wrong??
Thanks
ttyl
Dima

Since you are using an ATAPI cd writer, try turning off
(or lowering) DMA on that device.
Try either one of these (assuming you cd writer is on /dev/hdd):
hdparm -d0 -c1 /dev/hdd
hdparm -d 1 -X 34 /dev/hdd
