Hi everybody

ok, here's a simple description of my problem :

i have a SCSI burner

if i do
mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
cd /cdrom
rpm -Uvh <any-rpm-package>

i usually get an error, like 'cpio : invalid magic number'
and sometimes files (like mpeg or others) are corrupted when copying
them....

now, if i do :

mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
cd /cdrom
cp <any-file> /tmp
cd ..
umount cdrom

then the file is ok !!!!!
somebody has an explanation ?

i use kernel 2.2.10, i have the same trouble with 2.2.9
SCSI card is Tekram 390F
burner is a Yamaha 16/4/4

more info on request.......
and tia
