Works great; I've been doing that with all my CD/DVD+-RWs ever since the 2.6 kernel came out. > Use of ATA is preferred over ATAPI. > Warning: Using ATA Packet interface. > The related Linux kernel interface code seems to be unmaintained. > There is absolutely NO DMA, operations thus are slow. ...like the warning messages say, this is not recommended. > Vendor_info : 'HL-DT-ST' Identifikation : 'DVD+-RW GWA4164B' > Revision : 'D108' Mine: Vendor_info : 'HL-DT-ST' Identifikation : 'DVD-RAM GSA-H22L' Revision : '1.00' ...so relatively different. > cdrecord: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error > status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) > Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 3A > Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0 Yep, this or similar errors are what I remember from trying to use ATA: and ATAPI: . > I can write to DVD-Rs no problem, etc. Using the exact same command? Odd. I haven't had any problems writing CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, or DVD-R with this drive (problems were mostly with the @#$%^ing cheap-arse motherboard I had for 6 months, argh.)

You made some mistakes.... 1) This is not cdrecord but a bastardized variant that is known to have massive problems. Use the latest official cdrtools instead: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ Make sure to install cdrecord suid root. 2) You used dev=ATAPI:1,1,0 which is just an interface to allow CD/DVD writing with PCMCIA connected drives without causing a Linux kernel panic. If you have exactly one drive in your system, you may omit dev= completely. If you have more drives, run cdrecord -scanbus and select the right drive. -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js@cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily

Why do you like to use dev= at all? Cdrecord does not need it in case you only have one drive. -- EMail:joerg@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin js@cs.tu-berlin.de (uni) schilling@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily
