Thanks for your suggestion which I then did. It didn't get me pass the hurdle though. The exact same error persists.

Re: DVD burning problem Plextor PX-708A using xcdroast cdrecord.prodvd
Problem solved! I appended the following four lines to /etc/modules.conf options ide-cd ignore=hdd pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd as Jan Labanowski writes in his review on the subject http://www.ccl.net/cca/software/UNIX/Sony_DRU-510A_DVD+RW_burner/README-DRU-510A.html My DVD writer is slave on the 2nd IDE interface as in Jans case Note after reboot the system changes mount point names in /etc/fstab and in the /mnt directory. DVD burning then works. Martin --- Lourens Veen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu 3 June 2004 01:33, martin laurberg wrote: Dear All, Has anyone got a Plextor PX-708A working under linux?
