I am using cdrecord 1.11a12 on a RedHat Linux 7.2 machine with kernel version 2.4.7-10. I have a Dell Dimension XPS T450 (Pentium 3@450) with 384 MB of RAM. I am trying to burn on an HP8200i drive. I was able to successfully burn before I installed the new version of RedHat. I am not sure if it is the kernel or the setup. I CAN burn TAO, but not DAO. I get the same error (see below) regardless of the speed I burn at. Here is the output from cdrecord: # cdrecord -dao -pad -v -dummy -speed=4 *.wav Cdrecord 1.11a12 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 J�rg Schilling TOC Type: 0 = CD-DA scsidev: '0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.19 Using libscg version 'schily-0.5' atapi: 1 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 1 Vendor_info : 'HP ' Identifikation : 'CD-Writer+ 8200 ' Revision : '1.0f' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.

As you can see I am getting an "invalid mode for this track" error. I have searched high and low on the web and the deja newsgroups and have not found a solution to this problem. I am sure I am probably overlooking something very simple but I have gone over this stuff several times and am at a dead end. Oh, FWIW, I can burn okay with this hardware in windows (and as I said it worked before with an older version of RedHat) so I know the HW is okay. Any help is greatly appreciated.
