Hi,

K3B starts very slow. Also k3b-setup uses several minutes: I use:
- k3b 0.11.9
- kernel 2.4.25
- SCSI emulation

The drives are recognized by cdrecord:

Code:

bash-2.05b$ cdrecord --scanbus
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a25 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.25
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.

        0,1,0     1) 'SONY    ' 'DVD-ROM DDU1621 ' 'S1.5' Removable CD-ROM

        0,5,0     5) *
        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *


Does anybody know what to do?

Regards

Hi,

after I updated the kernel and cdrtools the problem is still pending:
- kernel 2.4.26
- cdrtools 2.01_alpha27
K3B needs "hours" to start.

Hi,

maybe it's a cdrdao and DMA problem. cdrdao needs "hours" to start. I read some other threads about this, but I didn't find a solution to enable DMA for my CD writer correctly.

The booting messages seem to be ok:

hdparm doesn't work. Maybe scsi emulation isn't supported by hdparm.

I downgraded cdrdao from 1.1.8 to 1.1.7-r3. Now cdrdao and k3b starts immediately.

Could it be a bug in cdrdao 1.1.8?

Maybe a problem with your build environment, is your CPU a K6?
Try CFLAGS with "-mcpu=i586" and rebuild cdrdao.

I was having the exact same issue with k3b starting very slowly (2.6.8-5 kernel, no scsi emulation, k6-3 processor). After downgrading it starts up instantly now.

PS, I have all the good cflags, but that wouldn't make as dramatic a difference as that.

Thanks a lot!

before "-march=k6-3" very long startup time
after "-march=i586" works well!
