[lug] CD Burner Problems

[Dhruva B. Reddy]

Hi,

I was hoping to get some insight on my CD burner problems.

Since the last time I successfully burned a CD, I have lost /etc in a
hard drive failure (and therefore had to reconstruct it from scratch),
and connected a second IDE CD (reader only) drive to the same controller,
as a slave.  Neither drive has any trouble reading CD's.  I just burned
a CD-RW with a ~300MB image with no problems.  I have reproduced the
problem on 3 different CD-R's (from the same spindle, from which I have
successfully burned several CD's) with a 692MB image and a 603MB image.

Also, the output of cdrecord says that it is writing at speed 10, when I
have specified (through the CDR_SPEED environment variable) '0'.

Here is the output of 'cdrecord -scanbus'--keep in mind that both drives
are IDE, but I use scsi emulation:

And here is the output when I actually try to burn a CD:
