Does the last sentence mean "it fails to read *same* file on every particular disc" or does it mean "it fails to read *some* file, not necessarily *same* on every particular disc, every time I try to for example cpio DVD content to e.g. /dev/null." What happens if you 'dd if=/dev/dvd of=/dev/null'? Does it exhibit error then? On same sector? How far this sector from track edge (examine dvd+rw-mediainfo output for information)? In either case it smells more like hardware deficiency than software fault (at least I find it hard to believe that upgrading kernel would do the magic). It also might be a firmware problem. See for example http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2004/cdwrite-200402/msg00099.html, judging from which unit seem to be rather picky about media... A.
