if I try to rip an audio CD with cdrdao and 2.6.8.1 or any of 2.6.8-gentoo-r3/6/7 memory slowly eaten until system (almost) locks up (mozilla/apache get killed automatically by kernel during the attempted rip due to out of memory). Takes a couple of minutes to get to a place where I can cleanly reboot the box. My cdrdao command is: cdrdao read-cd \ --driver generic-mmc \ --device /dev/hdc \ --datafile /home/heitzso/audio/data.rip \ --eject \ /home/heitzso/audio/toc.rip Let me know if need dmesg output or other info. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2.6.8-gentoo-r7 2. insert "mondo head" into CD/DVD reader 3. run cdrdao command noted above Actual Results: lots of processes get auto-killed to free up memory never actually finish the audio rip system effectively locks up Expected Results: not lock up Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1, 2.6.8-gentoo-r7) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.8-gentoo-r7 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://adelie.polymtl.ca/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib acpi alsa apm arts avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bonobo cdr crypt cups curl directfb doc encode esd f77 foomaticdb freetds gb gd gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile imap imlib java jikes jpeg junit libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod motif mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses nls odbc oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl php plotutils png postgres ppds python qt quicktime readline ruby samba sasl scanner sdl slang soap spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype usb wavelan wxwindows x86 xml xml2 xmlrpc xmms xprint xv zlib"
I just tested it with a gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r6 without a problem. It could be that you were caught by a kernel-problem, as linux-2.6.8 had a lot of problems with accessing CD-Roms. Please test with a more recent kernel.
Setting to WORKSFORME. Reopen if the problem still exists.
Yes, problem went away with newer kernel. In that vein you may want to flag dvdrtools as having problems with 2.6 kernel series. Because of various references to it on the web I emerged it, only to fight it on my 2.6 kernel setup. Finally figured out to switch over to another dvd writer tool kit. But if there's some way to flag a package in the main package database display page as not functional in some environments, would be nice.
