Well, we checked to see if cdrdao was installed, it was. Made a few minor modifications in /etc/modules.conf to ignore hdc and hdd for ide-cdrom module. Double checked everything. Tried your cdrecord command above, it failed. Tried to have XCDRoast create a cd image to burn from, in other words a 2 stage burn process rather than a burn on the fly. It failed reading from the cdrom and created a zero byte file for the image and toc files. Then we used XCDRoast to burn some files off the hard drive without any trouble. Now we've narrowed down the problem. The NEC CDROM Drive:28D with firmware 3.03 doesn't like the kernel or cdrecord for MDK 9.1. We searched for a firmware update on NEC's and Dell's web site and came up with nothing. Not sure of the exact model number stamped/printed on the drive. It was getting too late to open the case and find out. Anyone know of a good web site that has firmware updates for various stuff, kind of like www.drivers.com? I have a Toshiba 32X(Model XM-6302B) that I could put in there and hope that it doesn't have the same problem. Any ideas from anybody about this?
