Whenever I try to write a CD I get this error: $ cdrecord -dummy speed=8 dev=0,0,0 image.iso scsidev: '0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.20 Cdrecord 1.11a05 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J�rg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.5' Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 1 Vendor_info : 'TEAC ' Identifikation : 'CD-W58E ' Revision : '1.0A' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.

The drive is IDE, and has been wired to IDE-SCSI emulation. All three give the same error, except that 1.8 says "scsi sendcmd: retryable error" not "... no error". This error appears immediately after it prints "Operation starts". The drive used to work correctly, some time ago. I believe that that was with cdrecord 1.8 and kernel 2.2. I have not been able to convince 1.11 to compile against 2.2 headers. There is no problem reading from the drive, either data or audio tracks. Any advice would be appreciated. I have attached the output of 'cdrecord -prcap dev=0,0,0' to this message. Logs with high -v/-V/-debug settings available on request. I am not subscribed to this list, please cc: me on replies. zw
