Hi again, So, I got an brand new Iomega Predator 24x10x40x CD-writer (couldn't find the older 4x4x6x, but it shuold be the same type of drive, compatible with both usb 1.1 and 2.0)
I can easily read CD's on my office PC (redhat 7.1) and my laptop (redhat 7.2) but when I try to write (I tried just CD-R, not CD-RW) using cdrecord, I get something like: ---- scsidev: '0,0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.19 Cdrecord 1.10 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Jorg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM Using libscg version 'schily-0.5' atapi: 1 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 2 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : Vendor_info : 'IOMEGA ' Identifikation : 'CDRW9602EXT-B ' Revision : '8OS4' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW. Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R driver (mmc_cdr). Driver flags : SWABAUDIO Drive buf size : 1966272 = 1920 KB FIFO size : 4194304 = 4096 KB cdrecord: Input/output error. read disk info: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 04 01 00 00 Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x04 Qual 0x01 (logical unit is in process of becoming ready) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.319s timeout 240s cdrecord: Cannot get disk type.

It's not a problem with the CD itself, since I can write on it using an internal CD-writer on another PC (redhat 7.1) I guess I missed something in the configuration... Any clues will be appreciated. Thank you very much!
