I had suggestions for bad cable and "don't use the Promise PDC20267", so I replaced the IDE cable and moved the device to be (the only device) on the second onboard bus. I then used hdparm -d1 and we're back to (same command line and machine as before): cdrecord-prodvd-1.11a13-i586-pc-linux-gnu: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 2A 00 00 04 9E 7B 00 00 1F 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 04 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 08 01 00 00 Sense Key: 0x4 Hardware Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x08 Qual 0x01 (logical unit communication time-out) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 2.007s timeout 100s
hdparm -c1 had more useful result than failure-before-the-fact now, but also eventually offers the same failure. I now must do something for work but when I come back I guess I will try some -X switches also. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
