Re: [Dvdrtools-users] Re: dvdrecord hangs machine -- My theory: ATA in kernel 2.4.20+ sux

[Denise Berendes]

I always get the SCSI timeouts too, but only at the end while it is fixating.
My system never hangs though.  I get this on 3 similar systems, but on a
4th one that is very different I never get the timeouts.  All 4 machines have
the Pioneer 105 drive.  All of my DVDs are fine.

I get the timeouts with both kernels I'm currently using, 2.4.18-26.8.0 &
2.4.18-19.8.0.
