[ILUG] Problems with CD audio extraction

Hi all,

getting messages like this when extracting audio cd's using cdrdao or
cdparanoia, normally after extracting two or more cd's:

May 14 10:47:36 cjb kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid
183537, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 0xbe 00 00 00 15 35 00 00 0d f8 01
00
May 14 10:47:36 cjb kernel: hdd: lost interrupt
May 14 10:47:46 cjb kernel: hdd: lost interrupt
May 14 10:47:46 cjb kernel: ide-scsi: The scsi wants to send us more
data than expected - discarding data
May 14 10:47:46 cjb kernel: ide-scsi: transferred 17712 of 23520 bytes
May 14 10:47:46 cjb kernel: hdd: lost interrupt
May 14 10:48:07 cjb kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid
183538, scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 0xbe 00 00 00 15 42 00 00 0d f8 01
00

(repeated multiple times, with variations in the number of bytes
transferred and expected)

May 14 10:48:48 cjb kernel: hdd: lost interrupt
May 14 10:48:48 cjb kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
May 14 10:48:50 cjb kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete

(again repeated multiple times)

Any subsequent attempts to extract audio cd's with either of my cd
drives (0,0,0 = hdc = Philips 36X/AKU CD-ROM) or (0,1,0 = hdd = HP 7200i
CD-R) fails, and a reboot seems to be the only thing that will fix it...
it's starting to get really annoying having to reboot my machine every
few weeks, especially given that it ipmasqs for a handful of users who
get upset if it goes down for any length of time!

The machine is a P133, generic 82439HX motherboard, 128M RAM, two Maxtor
IDE HD's, running RedHat 6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15 compiled with SCSI
emulation so I can use the usual CD-R stuff.

Any ideas what's causing the problem?

Thanks in advance guys

PS: oh, and congrats on the show... from the way people seemed to be
clustering around our stand, I would guess that it was one of the best
attended at the show in terms of visits per floor area of stand, and
visits per expenditure on stand (expenditure (not counting sponsorship)
was approx 0, right? Guess that means we got an infinite bang per
buck... bit like installing Linux really... wonder what sort of bang per
buck Microsoft's stand got?)
