CD ROM problem

[Giuseppe Vacanti <giuseppe@asterix.xs4all.nl>]

Hi,

I run Debian 0.93R6 quite happily, and I have started using a GoldStar
CD-ROM drive (GCD-R540B). This is an ATAPI drive and it is recognized
by my system. However, when I access the data on the disk this is what
the kernel complains about:

Jan 27 17:09:15 deselby kernel: hdb: cdrom_read_from_buffer: buffer botch (515)
Jan 27 17:09:15 deselby kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 0340, sector 515
Jan 27 17:09:17 deselby kernel: hdb: cdrom_read_from_buffer: buffer botch (599)
Jan 27 17:09:17 deselby kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 0340, sector 599

This goes on forever. At times I can see only a few of the files on
the disk, then a second later more files are there. Programs that try
to read from the disk complain about unexpected EOF or file not found.

This is my fstab entry,

/dev/hdb                /cdrom          iso9660 defaults,noauto,ro,user 0 0

if it can be useful.

Is it my drive or my kernel or something else?

Thanks,

Giuseppe
