Following up to myself again; are we annoyed yet? Anyway, I remember reading about someone trying "burncd fixate" in a similar situation, so I did. It prints an error message, but seems to work. This is with a Plextor PX708A. convex# burncd -f /dev/acd0 fixate fixating CD, please wait.. burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCFIXATE): Input/output error To summarize, here is what I had to do to get writing DVD+R media working on FreeBSD 5.1-current (Nov 10), on a Plextor PX708A. (DVD+RW worked out of the box with "burncd -f /dev/acd0 dvdrw data.iso fixate"). 1) roll ata-lowlevel.c back to version 1.22 2) enable atapicam in the kernel 3) rebuild/reinstall kernel 4) install dvd+rw-tools from ports. 5) use growisofs -Z /dev/cd0=premastered.iso to burn the disk (no idea if premastered makes a difference). 6) use burncd -f /dev/acd0 fixate to close the session. 7) Ignore the error message from burncd. Hope this helps. db _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
