I know this isn't debian specific, but maybe someone has had a similar problem???
I am having trouble with cdrecord on my laptop. I installed 2.3.99-pre3 (needed to get my USB CDRW to work), and got the drive working okay (an read from it). When I try to record to it, however, I get: shmget: shm filesystem not mounted cdrecord: Invalid argument. shmget failed when I run with -debug I get: dev: 0,0 speed:2 fs: 4096000 TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM fs: 4096000 buflen 4100096 I've tried setting CDR_FIFOSIZE as well as using 'fs=' (as recommended by someone or other) but it didn't help.
