It certainly is possible to burn at lower speeds - I have never tried higher ones because I'm not in need of new coasters. Perhaps, though, the statement was meant to imply that the rating on the disk is the max that you could burn?

RE: [expert] Problems with cdrecord and scsi-ide
You may think this a stupid question, but your not using a 8x re-writable disk are you ? If you put in a x2 re-writable, it'll only write at x2, if it's a x8, it'll only write at x8, irrespective of what you want it to burn at ?

I basically use command line burning, as well as things like xcdroast, and the problem is with all methods that i use.. I suspect it could be a Kernel problem with the motherboard that i am using.. it's a Asus Nforce board... At this moment I am downloading the Cooker kernal, in a hope that this could help..

Can anyone with cooker please check if this is removed for the next release
and file a bug if not ? It makes more problems then solving them. I don't
know which devel rides them to come to such an idea

Mandrake is turning dma off by default on optical drives. have a look at this
section of /etc/rc.sysinit
# Turn off DMA on CD-ROMs. It more often than not causes problems.
if [ -x /sbin/hdparm -a -e /proc/ide ]; then
for N in `grep -v ide-disk /proc/ide/*/*/driver 2>/dev/null | awk -F / '{
print $5 }'`; do
hdparm -q -d0 /dev/$N >/dev/null 2>&1
done
fi
Now, the next section is really interesting because it tells you how to turn
it back on.
# Turn on harddisk optimization
# There is only one file /etc/sysconfig/harddisks for all disks
# after installing the hdparm-RPM. If you need different hdparm parameters
# for each of your disks, copy /etc/sysconfig/harddisks to
# /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhda (hdb, hdc...) and modify it.
# Each disk which has no special parameters will use the defaults.
# Each non-disk which has no special parameters will be ignored.
Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone, I am having problems with what looks like scsi emu probs, I am using mandrake 9 and a Duron 1.3g .. the problem is I have a LG 48x16x48 cdr drive no matter what i try I can not burn quicker than 8x with out having problem like ./cdrecord: Input/output error. send opc: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 54 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 06 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 29 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x6 Unit Attention, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x29 Qual 0x00 (power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 60.041s timeout 60s ./cdrecord: OPC failed.
