I don't know _what_ problems you have....
There are several possibilities:
- You are using a bad medium that does not follow the Red-Book standard
and for this reason confused your drive.
- The fork "cdrkit" is known for not working at all in many cases because
of a bad hack in libscg.
- HAL works on Solaris, but it does not work on Linux.
It does not work on Linux because it polls the drive the wrong way and
acts in an unfriendly way.
If your problems are caused by the cdrkit bugs, upgrade to a recent original:
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/
Note that you need to disable HAL anyway if you write CDs/DVDs in DAO mode,
because in this case HAL tries to mount the medium while it is still written
and thus causes a buffer underrun.
