 |

Hi all,
I hope that Hardware & Laptops is th right place to post my problem...
I got a CD-W540E It's a Teac u can get more info here:
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
scsidev: '0,0,0'
scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'
Device type : Removable CD-ROM
Version : 0
Response Format: 2
Capabilities :
Vendor_info : 'TEAC '
Identifikation : 'CD-W540E '
Revision : '1.0H'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R driver (mmc_cdr).
Driver flags : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE
Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R96R
I can burn CD but when I do it I got several problems
1- Buffer memory is alway between 3% and 0%
2- Burning speed is not right.... about 40% slower (I think becouse the buffer is empty and it turns on the burn proof)
3- There is a lot of cpu usage so the rest of the system is really slow and mp3 playing on xmms turn off for some seconds periodically
By the way the burning always ends succesfully but, as I told u, I cannot use the computer during burning... even listening music
I hope someone can help me....
Tnx for support

You don't say what cdrecord options are using. Try this to write a ISO iamge:
| Code: | | cdrecord -v -eject dev=(your_device) driveopts=burnfree fs=32m speed=(your cdrw write speed) /path_to_your_ISO_file.iso |
This is ans example of my command:
| Code: |
modprobe ide-scsi (load ide-scsi emulation module)
cdrecord -v -eject dev=1,1,0 fs=32m speed=24 driveopts=burnfree /mnt/isoimages/example.iso
|
Before I compilated my kernel with SCSI emulation for ATAPI devices. Pass this arguments to the kernel in lilo configuration file (/etc/lilo.conf)
| Code: | | append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" |
also you can add the option -overburn to burn big ISO images (for long CD-R disk: 900 Mb)
I see in the forums that in the new version of cdrtools you can use directly cdrecord without scsi emulation, but now I don't remember how to do it...  and I ever do it with this way...
If you' re interested in this way, make a search with the word cdrecord |
