The error is a kernel error. cdrecord / xcdroast have been updated but errors are coming from the kernel. Here they are again. I installed the latest drivers for my scsi card (dc395x_trm) along with the cooker kernel. It burnt one cd and I thought it was fixed but it does it again now. I am now forced to use my spare partition for windows xp because it works there. So next time you think to argue that Linux is just as good as windows (or better), dont...it aint.
Heres' the error I get whenever I try to burn a cd. Jul 18 08:25:25 c5011946 kernel: DC395x: Interrupt from DMA engine: 63! Jul 18 08:25:25 c5011946 kernel: DC395x: This means DMA error!

I cannot believe that my hardware was rock solid on a 6 year old K6-2 platform and absolute garbage on a new ddr platform.
