A friend of mine gives me some CDs with multibe sessions, written with his
HP Surestore 4020i by Easy-CD. Dos and Win95 shows all all sessions like one
big session, while linux-2.0.[0678] shows me only the last session.
My setup: Linux-2.0.8, AHA-1542B, Toshiba XM3401-TA.
I enabled some debugging in sr.c, which showed me that that code works. Then
I looked into isofs/inode.c into the function isofs_get_last_session where
the driver is asked about the presence of a multisession CD, that return ok,
return also the multi session redirection value, but a if that was added in
linux-1.1.83 prevents that value to be used if the disk is not a XA disk.
The XA check prevented me from reading the whole disk and after removing it
like in the patch below, It worked like a charm...

Please try it out, if it works with all disks, This would be a good one!
