Steve Scrimpshire Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 (edited) I have the above burner using scsi emulation installed and never really had a problem with it, but I did see sometimes this message in /var/log/messages: Nov 2 22:41:32 omarserenity kernel: ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more data than expected - discarding data Nov 2 22:41:32 omarserenity kernel: ide-scsi: [[ 46 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 ] Nov 2 22:41:32 omarserenity kernel: ] Nov 2 22:41:32 omarserenity kernel: ide-scsi: expected 8 got 16 limit 8 Nov 2 22:41:32 omarserenity kernel: ide-scsi: transferred 8 of 16 bytes Nov 2 22:41:32 omarserenity kernel: sr0: mmc-3 profile: 0h Nov 2 22:41:32 omarserenity kernel: cdrom: open failed. Now, it is actually causing me troubles and I see that message. I was trying to install Freespace and it moves the Total install bar like 1% and then dies. Not only that, but subsequent attempts to unmount /dev/scd1 tell me that the device is busy and I have to reboot to get it to unmount. Any ideas? Update: This has to do with trying to use the Freespace installer from icculus.org. I've tried it with and without scsi emulation. I can manually mount and unmount the DVD burner all day and access it, but if I try to run the freespace installer it gives me the above error and even after quitting the freespace installer I cannot unmount it anymore. It tells me 'Device busy'. I cannot kill the mount processes either...no error, just cannot kill them. I wonder which one of these causes the problem: (1) I have the DVD version of Freespace (2) My DVD burner is set up as slave (/dev/scd1) TIA Edited November 3, 2003 by Steve Scrimpshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 *asks the inevitable* is supermount on? ok, other than that. do you have a default kernel? or did you build your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted November 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 (edited) Oh. Forgot to say supermount is not enabled. I thought people knew me well enough to know I hate supermount. Default kernel. It's the 2.4.22-10mdk-i686-up-4GB one. I also edited my post and added an update.
