I'm running a standard 2.4.21 kernel.org kernel. My original experiment was with my LG DVD-ROM (ATAPI+ide-cd). I tried the same CD in my burner (LiteOn, ATAPI+ide-scsi) and it gives the same error. I've also tried a different CD, with 38789, and it reads correctly in both, as did another burned CD with 14425 blocks. I tried mounting the CD that did not work, and copy all files off of it. No problems there. Perhaps it's some sort of odd copy protection? (it's a Nero install CD that came with my burner, I figured I'd paid for it but never used it before so now would be a good time :-)) > Could be media, hardware/firmware, or as you say, something we > don't understand. Well, I'm not at all sure what it is anymore now. Perhaps it's just the quality of CDs that's less than people expect. > Another thought, with some older cdrecord versions I convinced > myself that using -pad making the ISO image was more successful > than using the option in cdrecord.

Hmm, I've never used the -pad option either way, can't comment there. > Too many possibilities, and Joerg is not motivated to do anything > with Linux except whine that the kernel people doing the work > won't take orders and do it his way. He doesn't seem to be doing much with cdrecord at all lately.
