Hi,

I can't seem to burn cds anymore. Not sure how long it has been like this.

This happens with any blank cd. The drive IS able to read cds/dvds.
Any ideas?
This http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php? ... 2+6+burner is the only reference to this error I could find on the forums, and the problem was an old kernel...

I got something similar the other day, wasted four blank CDs before figuring out a solution for it. I'm not really sure what triggered it, but it was the first time I'd tried to burn CDs after recompiling my system with gcc 3.4. In my case, the culprit seemed to be this line:

I specified the device using dev=ATAPI:1,0,0 syntax and it worked fine for me.

It worked *okay* with 2.6.14, I notice it complains about 2.6.15 at the top of the output.

Same problem here.

I've the same problem. I tried with 2 recorders. Recording with nero fails too.

infirit · Post by **infirit** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 3:23 pm

Does it work when you try to burn as root?

Code: Select all

su -c "cdrecord many options...."

Corax · Post by **Corax** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 5:26 pm

My solution was to downgrade cdrecord to a stable version.

emdej · Post by **emdej** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 6:06 pm

I tried only as root, I always try things as root at first and then, if it works, I try to use it as user. cdrecord had worked for me some time ago, but I didn't use it long, and now I tried to record sth and found that it doesn't work

I use stable version 2.01.01_alpha07, so downgrading to stable is impossible

I set DMA mode for hdc and hdd to mdma2 and recorded 2 CDs, but I'm not sure if it is ok now.
