Hi, > It's old, but most likely not worn-off.
I mostly meant the drive of Jawahar Panchal, of which we do not yet know the model name. Ok. I retract "worn-off" and replace by "age-wise challenged". :)) > root@lsXX:/mnt# xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -list_profiles > ... > Media current: is not recognizable > Media status : is not recognizable > ... > Media summary: 1 session, 57583 data blocks, 112m data, 0 free Not being a MMC drive, it might be not suitable for libburn. > So, maybe firmware just checks the "Media status" as above and then fails > because it's not "recognizable" ? "not recognizable" is a misperception of libburn and xorriso, probably because SCSI command GET CONFIGURATION is not supported by the drive. Other commands like READ DISC INFORMATION, READ TRACK INFORMATION, or READ TOC/PMA/ATIP seem to work. One would have to run xorriso -scsi_log on -outdev /dev/sr0 -list_profiles \ 2>&1 | tee -i /tmp/xorriso.log in order to learn which particular commands do not work. I am quite astonished to see a DVD drive with such handicaps. So technically it would be of interest for me to get such a /tmp/xorriso.log in private. (It will hardly help this thread, though.) > root@lsXX:/mnt# dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2 count=1 | od -c > ... > 0000000 200 \0 Grmpf. At least the problem is not easily reproducible. Maybe the firmware complains about bad magic for more mismatches than only the first LIF bytes. The fact that your DVD+RW booted, shows that the firmware does not demand a real LIF System Block as of http://www.hp9845.net/9845/projects/hpdir/. We store the address of the 32-bit kernel file where LIF has "Directory Start". A checkread of full image size from CD-RW might show that some other blocks (of 2048 bytes) are bad. Or maybe the DVD drive needs some heating by reading DVD+RW before it is willing to read CD-RW.
