Is there any reason /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 show different results here?
Do they have the same (and latest) firmware?
I tend to check using 'dmesg' and searching the output for 'sr0', the
line above the first instance of 'sr0' tends to be the correct one
with drive info, eg. mine here says:
[ 1.865700] scsi 0:0:0:0: CD-ROM TSSTcorp DVDWBD
SH-B123L SB03 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
Which is firmware SB03. I have just checked 5 drives and they all have
the firmware version in the same place, so I am assuming it will be
there.
I would be tempted to try one drive at a time, and writing an ISO
(UDF, etc.) image, possibly using 'wodim'.
Ralph, Yes, it is old disk stock that I have had for a couple of years,
but yesterday I wrote two disks of it from the XP machine
Victor, no, I have not tried removing and re-installing k3b. I will try
that next.
Andrew, Dmesg has:
[ 3.516235] ata3.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222BB, SB00, max UDMA/100
[ 4.204228] ata4.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222BB, SB00, max UDMA/100
So both look alike. I cannot find the text 'sr0' in Dmesg.
Actually the text around the line above is a bit disconcerting;
[ 4.196078] ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 3F0)
[ 4.204228] ata4.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222BB, SB00, max UDMA/100
[ 4.220223] ata4.00: configured for UDMA/100
[ 4.221613] scsi 3:0:0:0: CD-ROM TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222BB
SB00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[ 4.222628] ata4.00: exception Emask 0x100 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6
[ 4.222639] ata4: hard resetting link
[ 4.540071] ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 3F0)
[ 4.564222] ata4.00: configured for UDMA/100
[ 4.564646] ata4: EH complete
Let's try re-installing kb3 and see if it is happier with these as they
seem to favour UDMA.
I'll have to look into that.
Thanks everybody.
