First, some setup details: We have a DEC AlphaStation 250 running RedHat
Linux 4.1. We've compiled our own kernel (2.0.27) from the sources that came
with RedHat. We picked the "NCR53C8XX" SCSI driver (the one ported from
FreeBSD). The SCSI bus seems to be stable (ie, hundred-megabyte copies and
diffs work okay). We also have a Philips CDD521 external CD-ROM writer (the
SCSI driver reports it as "IMS Model CDD521/10 Rev 2.04").
We are trying to write some CDs with this system. Is this possible? I've
got the latest copy of cdwrite (2.0) from sunsite, and it compiled, but trying
to actually send any commands to the CD-ROM writer results in errors from the
SCSI driver, cdwrite, or both. Popular errors include things like this:
COMMAND FAILED (4 88) @fffffc00002a4028.
SCSI phase error fixup: CCB address mismatch
phase change 6-3 1@042a4504 resid=1.
(Much junk removed from the above, I can send full log entries if needed).
Can someone point me in the right direction to find fixes, patches, and/or
documentation? I searched an archive of this list and found one patch posted,
but "patch" gave me the following error when I tried to apply it:
Patching file Makefile using Plan A...
patch: **** malformed patch at line 5: PROGS= cdwrite isosize
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
