I've seen mentions of this problem before on linux-kernel and on
numerous other lists, but have never seen a solution to it.

Basically, when attempting to write a disk with any version of cdrecord,
I get this error. I am running 2.2.17 (also 2.2.16) on x86 with
hedrick's ide patch, and the reiserfs patch, and the replacement SG
driver from the cdrecord page.

Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 8 in write mode for multi session.
Last chance to quit, starting real write in 1 seconds.
Waiting for reader process to fill input buffer ... input buffer ready.
cdrecord: Input/output error. mode select g1: scsi sendcmd: retryable

cdrecord: Cannot open new session.
cdrecord: fifo had 128 puts and 0 gets.
cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 0 times full, min fill was 100%.

There isn't any information in the cdrecord docs/etc. about this
problem. All it ever talks about is that unable to allocate memory
error, which went away as soon as I put in the replacement scsi-generic
driver.

Any ideas? Please cc responses.
