[paranoia] SCSI transport errors

[Rod Wright]

I'm trying to rip a CD using a freshly downloaded cdparanoia III 9.7
which I successfully built from source and installed. The problem I am
having is that I get scsi transport errors at the end of the first
track. Here is the output:

main:~/scans/image-data$ cdparanoia -vwB 1-14
cdparanoia III release 9.7 (December 13, 1999)
(C) 1999 Monty <monty at xiph.org> and Xiphophorus

Checking /dev/scd0 for cdrom...
        Testing /dev/scd0 for cooked ioctl() interface
                /dev/scd0 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
        Testing /dev/scd0 for SCSI interface
                generic device: /dev/sg0
                ioctl device: /dev/scd0
                CDROM sensed: HP CD-Writer+ 7200 3.01

Checking for SCSI emulation and transport revision...
        Drive is ATAPI (using SCSI host adaptor emulation)

Checking for MMC style command set...
        Drive is MMC style
Verifying CDDA command set...
        Expected command set reads OK.

Looking at revision of the SG interface in use...
        New style SG with scatter/gather memory management
        DMA scatter/gather table entries: 256
        table entry size: 32768 bytes
        maximum theoretical transfer: 3566 sectors
        Setting default read size to 13 sectors (30576 bytes).

SCSI transport error: timeout waiting to read packet
 
scsi_read error: sector=13446 length=13 retry=0
                 Sense key: 0 ASC: 0 ASCQ: 0
                 Transport error: Error reading command from device
                 System error: Success
                                                                                 

At this point, cdparanoia hung, the drive access light was no longer
flashing, and a ctrl-c was required. I tried the same command with
release 9.6, and ran into the same problem, but it kept scrolling
"timeout waiting to read packet" and "timeout waiting to write packet"
errors and it kept trying until I killed it. If I start with track 2 it
works fine. If I play the resultant track 1 wav file, it sounds fine,
but I get a premature EOF error at the end. I also have xcdroast
installed, and tried copying the disc with it. It is using the readcdda
program, and it encountered no errors. I checked the bug list and
couldn't find anything like this. I have used cdparanoia in the past
with the same drive, system, etc., and had no problems.

Could this be a bug in cdparanoia, or is readcdda not smart enough to
know something bad is happening?

My system is a pentium 200, 64Meg ram running the Slackware 7
distribution. The kernel is 2.2.14 using glibc-2.1.2.

Thanks in advance for any help.
