I've recently enabled scsi emulation (scsi emulation, scsi generic 
support, scsi cdrom support) for my cdrom and cd-writer.
Unfortunately, cdrdao and cdrecord take up all the processor's time 
when reading and/or writing to these devices. I've run hdparm on all 
devices and I've activated both dma and 32bit accesses.
I'm wondering whether this problem is due to bad configuration or it is 
just a linux-kernel issue (my version is 2.4.20).
