Prior to buy a new device, I'd like to hear if some-one has advice about my problem. Some time ago, my TEAC cd writer, named W-540E started to act odd. It is slave, ide, and managed through atapicam. When I put medium into, it starts to blink for a 30 or more seconds. Finaly, when the light is down, I mount it (with /dev/cd0 to /cdrom) and get more blinking over and over. Helps to make Control-C, get "#" back and wait for 30 or 40 more seconds for final mount. In this moment I have release 5_1 on cheap hardware, but it was even worse with 4_7 or 5_0. Now it does not reboot as did previously. I cannot find any irq con- flict. Mounting, system gives error message like this: (cd0:ata0:0:1:0) READ(10).CDB:28 0 0 2 8 a a 2 0 0 1 0 CAM Status: SCSI Status Error SCSI Status: Check Condition MEDIUM ERROR info:28aa2 asc:2,0 No seek complete Retrying Command(per Sense Data) My first ideas were bad cabling or almost dead cd drive. In dmesg: atapci0: Correcting VIA config for \ southbridge data coruption bug acd0: CD-RW ar ata0-slave PIO4 cd0: Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device Memory stick, emulated through scsi, works fine. The same cd dri- ve worked as expected, when I did buy it. Or I was wrong. Finaly, writers are cheap and it will be the best solution to me. If it is the case. I know that something could be mismanaged by myself. Oh! I read "digest". So, additio- nal information could be available next day. Best regards ZK
