mmmmmm: in /etc/lilo.conf: append=" hdc=ide-scsi devfs=nomount" it sounds like something isn't right. either devfs is getting turned off, our your turning dma off on the wrong drive. do the following to verify that you have the correct device: # cat /var/log/dmesg |grep hdc your problem is strikingly similar to still haveing dma turned-on or are using the devfs still. also, after checking all the above, try upgrading or downgrading cdrecord. then try using a cooker kernel if you're still using 2.4.8 or something other. - roger ----- Verify my pgp/gnupg signature on my HomePage: http://www.alltel.net/~rogerx/about/index.html
