Burning CD's = Kernel Panic

Mega Man X · 06-19-2003, 08:00 AM

Hi!!!

I'm trying to burn CD's using a relatively old CD of mine. A LG 8x. It works good under Windows but I cannot get it to work under Linux.
I also have an LG DVD Player set as /cdrom and my burner set as /cdrom1

When I burn something, the lights "in use" of the burner starts, but after a while, it crashes all the computer and the burning fails. The weird is... I could erase an CD RW without any problems, but I cannot burn it. I've tried cdrecord and gnometoaster.

What should I do?

it's my first try to burn CD's with Linux :S

Any help would be great.

Thanks a lot

if you have tried cdrecord, does it give you any error output?
did you enable your burner as scsi?
what is the output when you type:
cdrecord -scanbus
in the term

I used to get the same problem with red hat 8 and when I switched to 7.3 they went away and since going to 9 burning has been pretty good too. If you are interested, try out k3b, I list all the files and deps you need to get to run it on my guide.

Hi again yowwww!

Thanks for the reply my friend. I've tried CDRecord and there's no apparent error message at the shell

. It simply crashes.
The same thing happens if I insert a CD with media into my CD-r Driver. It tries to mount the device and crashes after a while the hole system. Perhaps I will have to keep burning with Nero and Win2k

. The odd is that I did not have those problems with Mandrake

. I've not tried Redhat 7.3 in this machine so I can't tell it. When I type cdrecord -scanbus I get:
