If was broken for me since sarge to start with. As you may read on that reports, the problem is DMA. Did you try to switch off it on your opto-drive (hdparm -d0 /dev/cd-rw)? I always do this, before writing anything optical. If this helps, then kernel developers don't care much to debug and test it. Maybe because DMA is not important for this things. I doubt recording speed may be safely more than x16 (=2.4M/s), due to quality of storage. Thus, implementing things like DMA tests and using it in cdrecord is a bad idea, IMHO. ____ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
