To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2000 15:31:15 -0500 (CDT) From: Buddy Brannan X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.5 PL2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit List-Id: Now I'm having a different problem than the other one, this one on my regular computer (I.E. not the one I'm installing Debian on). My CD-R isn't recording CD's. Gives some error after a long (though variable) time about no disk/wrong disk, with a bunch of other stuff that I don't have readily available. So I've been scratching my head over this, and in trying to diagnose the problem, I tried just mounting a CD with stuff on it, and mount just sorta sat there and didn't spit out an error or anything. Couldn't even kill it. Very odd, indeed. OK, so next, I thought, I wonder if there's anything wrong in startup? So here's what dmesg tells me, at least the relevant part: (scsi0) found at PCI 9/0 (scsi0) Narrow Channel, SCSI ID=7, 3/255 SCBs (scsi0) Warning - detected auto-termination (scsi0) Please verify driver detected settings are correct. (scsi0) If not, then please properly set the device termination (scsi0) in the Adaptec SCSI BIOS by hitting CTRL-A when prompted (scsi0) during machine bootup. (scsi0) Cables present (Int-50 NO, Ext-50 YES) (scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 406 instructions downloaded scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.1.21/3.2.4 scsi : 1 host. Vendor: JVC Model: XR-W2010 Rev: 1.51 Type: WORM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 BTW, yes, I have burned a CD on this drive before, but I can't recall if it was before or after upgrading to 2.2.14. (BTW, I recall Bill mentioned problems with his--an identical unit. So not sure if it's a hardware problem or a software or OS one. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV | And if the ground yawned, Email: davros@ycardz.com | I'd step to the side and say, Phone: (972) 889-8147 | "Hey ground!
