it's completely unrelated to the hardware, i think. i tried 3
different pcs (a dual pii w/ and w/o smp, an old p5 133 and
a pii 450). the result is always that you can read the cds
reliably with 2.0.36 and that 2.2.[9,10] is "forgetting"
some files (the exact numbers vary and seem to be somehow
system load dependent).
but i've found something strange: the questionable cds do have
screwed iso filesystems! there is a program called isovfy coming
with mkisofs. this little prog lists some error msgs that i
don't understand, for example:
-----------
[root@ompc3 diag]# ./isovfy /dev/scd1
Root at extent 14, 2048 bytes
[0 0]
15: 46 15 65536 *. RRlen=12 [**BAD SUSP 0 0]
15: 80 220 29689 RRlen=32 [**BAD SUSP 0 0]
15: 80 432 24009 RRlen=32 [**BAD SUSP 0 0]
15: 80 64f 21379 RRlen=32 [**BAD SUSP 0 0]
15: 80 840 21219 RRlen=32 [**BAD SUSP 0 0]
15: 80 a57 20691 RRlen=32 [**BAD SUSP 0 0]
----------
why these errors are only showing under 2.2.[9,10], why
this happens silently without an error message and why
this is load dependent is still unclear to me.
