It actually is a 2.4.22 and it spills out (for the "known DVD-R case"): Nov 4 13:22:07 sol kernel: sr0: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: 0x54 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Nov 4 13:22:07 sol kernel: Current sr00:00: sns = 70 3 Nov 4 13:22:07 sol kernel: ASC=73 ASCQ= 3 Nov 4 13:22:07 sol kernel: Raw sense data:0x70 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0a 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x73 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 and Nov 4 10:54:11 sol kernel: sr0: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: 0x54 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Nov 4 10:54:11 sol kernel: Current sr00:00: sns = 70 4 Nov 4 10:54:11 sol kernel: ASC= 3 ASCQ= 0 Nov 4 10:54:11 sol kernel: Raw sense data:0x70 0x00 0x04 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0a 0x00 0x2a 0x00 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 for the CD-RW case.
