I was indeed relieved to see my CD ROM working again under Linux
kernel 1.3.23, just to find is buggy under .24 again. Does anyone
know where this problem might originate from?
1.3.24 prints out the following error when trying to access the
CD-ROM, at least with audio CDs (data CDs are partially corrupt sometimes):
Sep 8 19:45:27 firepit kernel: <6>CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.
Here's an extract from my dmesg to show my configuration:
Seagate ST-01/ST-02 options: ARBITRATE SLOW_HANDSHAKE FAST32
scsi0 : Seagate ST-01/ST-02 at irq 5, address 0xCC000
scsi : 1 host.

scsi : detected 1 SCSI cdrom 1 SCSI disk total.
SCSI Hardware sector size is 512 bytes on device sda
The connected Quantum drive seems to work fine, the ST-02 driver is compiled
into the kernel under 1.3.24.
In hope for help,
