This laptop (which I bought about a month ago) is HP COMPAQ 6720 and
with it came DVD+/-RW SuperMulti DL LightScribe Drive. Specs can be
seen at http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12759_div/12759_div.HTML

Yes, I tried it twice just to make sure that problem wasn't bad disk.

Nope, not yet.

Okay. Right now I can't make any further tests, because I don't have
those dual layer disks and I live far away from place where I could
buy them. I'll get them in few weeks.

Now:
* You can tag this bug as "needs more info".

When I get those new disks:

* This computer came with preinstalled Windows. I'll boot in Windows
and try to burn a disk there to check if this is a hardware related
problem.
* If it's not then I'll try that growisofs stuff with different kernel
versions.

After that I'll report results here.
