My guess is that your writer is bad, or at minimum needs a firmware upgrade. However, is this the real cdwrite program from Joerg Schilling, or is it one of the hacked versions which come with some distributions with mods to burn DVDs?
I would also specify the real device name, like dev=/dev/hdX, and drop the speed= option and let it choose one it likes. You may also want to use the -atip option to see what cdrecord thinks about your drive. -- -bill davidsen (davidsen@tmr.com) "The secret to procrastination is to put things off until the last possible moment - but no longer" -me - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
