Hardware: SuperMicro X5DE8-GG motherboard, dual Xeon 2.8Ghz, 2GB memory. Using onboard SCSI controller for disks, onboard IDE for DVD burner. DVD burner is a Pioneer DVR-108.
Software: cdrecord and/or cdrecord-ProDVD. Problem: CD burning Always Fails. Failure mode is 100% repeatable and consistent: cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 2A 00 00 00 01 55 00 00 1F 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0xFFFFFFFF [], Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x00 Qual 0x00 (no additional sense information) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 40s write track data: error after 698368 bytes Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 04 08 00 00 00 00 Mr. Schilling says "Install a non-defective kernel." I am assuming that this doesn't mean "some other OS". Googling around on the CDB bytes turns up lots of people with cabling problems, especially on SCSI busses. Googling around on FreeBSD and 698368 turns up someone who needed the P1003_1B option added to a kernel. (It's now just the _KPOSIX option, and it's already in there.) I got as far as putting in the atapicam and related devices. This happens whether or not I leave the atapicd driver in place. (dmesg output below is without.) I enclose dmesg and config file as attachments for perusal. I am Very Worried by the observation that the CD is claiming a 3.300MB/sec transfer rate: cd0 at ata0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd0: <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 1.10> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd0: 3.300MB/s transfers This is almost certainly incorrect; it should be ATA66, and I have an 80-pin cable. I'm not *totally* hopeless: # cat /boot/loader.conf hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" but I can't tell whether that's fixed anything. My hypothesis is that I have somehow failed to persuade the kernel to Really And Truly do DMA on this device, and that it's fallen back on a pathetically slow and inappropriate PIO mode. Clues will be gratefully appreciated; also, since I've seen other people with similar problems, if I can find a fix, I will write about it and put lots of happy Google-friendly keywords in it so fewer people will ask in the future.
