I am using pcqlinux 7.1 w/ a Samsung 304 combo cdrw/dvd drive. X-cdroast works quite well but does not support multisesion cds. I downloaded the latest cdrecord 1.10. I have read the cdwriting howto, and the README.multi file. I followed the instruction in the latter file to the letter but came up against a wall.
Though cdrecord claims that the burn of the subsequent tracks is *good* I am unable to see the tracks on the cd. Both my cdrom & cdrw drives are capable of reading multisession cds. I found similar references on the suse list (sometime in Jan 2001), I wrote to the op and he wrote back that he had given up trying after he got no answers.
I wrote to Jorg Schilling and he replied w/ a terse one liner saying that I have hit a kernel bug and he can't help me. I dug around in his website and it seems that he is plenty sore at not having his sg (scsi) driver included in the kernel (even goes to almost calling Alan Cox a nepotist -- but this is ot). He seems to have washed his hands off trynig to make cdrecord run w/ a 2.4 kernel. He mentions some patches for 2.0 & 2.2 trees but nothing for 2.4.
Has anybody managed to burn multisesson cds ? If you have, can you please tell me your cdrecord and kernel version and the exact command line for it.
Cdrecord barfs at this command:
cdrecord -msinfo dev=0,0
and the kernel goes berserk, kfmclient seems to be spawning over and over again literally hundreds of times. (I wonder if this is even related ?)

Sharukh.
