2-4-18 crash trying to blank a CD

Hello,

I have this CD burner: Vendor: ARTEC Model: WRR-4848, ide-scsi is loaded and it burns CDs fine, but it can't blank them.

I do cdrecord -blank=<foo> dev=x,y,z
and i got this in the log, it repeats every second:

Dec 30 16:19:46 koala kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 5233
8, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 Read (10) 00 00 13 80 dd 00 00 01 00 
Dec 30 16:19:46 koala kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 52338) timed out - resetti

ng

after a while:

Dec 30 16:32:47 koala kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
Dec 30 16:32:48 koala kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 5234
0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 
Dec 30 16:32:48 koala kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 52340) timed out - resetti

ng

and after some time it hard freezes, nothing responds, i can't switch numlock off and i can't change to console (i am in XWindow).

I can reproduce it every time, the kernel is from the kernel-image-2.4.18-686 debian package (sid).

I can provide more informations if you want.

How long after you start the command ? Basically the kernel has discovered that the command in question took longer than the timeout cdrecord told it to allow. It is then trying to get the system back.

Can you see what occurs if you are not in X windows as that might display an oops or other information of use.
