My first attempt to write CD-R and CD-RW blanks with
cdrecord-1.9-3mdk under Mandrake 7.2 turned out to be a dismal
failure, not able to get past track 4 to 8 for "Medium Error." and
"Write Error - Loss of Streaming". This with numerous CD-R and CD-RW
blanks.
I booted up Helium and tried exactly the same thing - perfect writes
every time!
Under Odyssey, I used kpackage to remove all the cdrecord suite and
replaced it with that from Helium - dismal failure, pointing to the
problem being within Odyssey's 2.2-17mdk Linux kernel.
cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 Mandrake72-inst.iso
I rate this as serious. Any clues, anyone?
