I have a 90 mhz pentium with Mandrake 7.2, and have both an HP CDWRiter Plus 7200 and a Memorex CRW-1622. I get a similar failure from both cd writers. I first used xcdroast, then went to cdrecord directly to capture the problem. This problem occurs either using dummy or real write, and even in stand alone console mode. I basically get xx meg of data recorded, then an error: Can someone give me a clue? bug printout: [root@dell /root]# cdrecord -v -dummy speed=2 -dev=0,0 Mandrake72-ext.iso Cdrecord 1.9 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jrg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 2.1.39 Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' atapi: 1 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 1 Vendor_info : 'Memorex ' Identifikation : 'CRW-1622 ' Revision : 'D2.3' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.
