I have tried all the steps in the CD-Writing HOWTO to get my cdrom burner to
burn but no luck. I have created the image using mkisofs; I have tested the
CD-image by mounting it using the loop0 device and inspected the data; I have
issued the cdrecord -scanbus and gotten: cdrecord -scanbus

I have run cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,0,0 -data /tmp/cd_image
where /tmp/cd_image is the file created by mkisofs.
All messages from the cdrecord run look perfect (no errors at all) and the
red write light on the cdrw blinked on/off many times and the command
completed without any errors. Nothing seems to be written on the cdrom!
I also have used gcombust and gtoaster and get the same results...seems to
burn but nothing gets written on the cdrom.
I know the cdrw works because I can burn cdroms using the M$ dual boot side
of the machine.
Any ideas on why it seems to work but does not burn anything?
