Dear listmembers,
the following description refers to severe difficulties I notice with kernel
version 2.2.X I do not know whom to report to.
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
cdrom-operation is no more functional (no cdwriter operation, reported filesize
on cdrom is wrong)
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
see attachment
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
cdrom - driver malfunction
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
2.2.X (any 2.2-kernel, I tested 2.2.0, 2.2.1, 2.2.2acX)
[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
none
[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)
see attachment, no trigger, simply mount cdrom.
[7.] Environment
see attachment
[7.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here)
see attachment

[7.4.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi)
see attachment
[7.5.] Other information that might be relevant to the problem
(please look in /proc and include all information that you
think to be relevant):

[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
none
Any input would be greatly appreciated. If there is anything additional that I
should support / test / whatever, let me know. My system is 100% reliable on
2.0.36, no failures, 24h uptime daily, up-time of several weeks without any
difficulty.
Many thanks in advance,
yours sincerely
