i just rebooted, (and booted with acpi off, anticipatory like before)
and burned a DVD, and it works.. this means that when acpi is disabled,
cpufreq off, i have the same problems i initially had with earlier
kernels (2.6.9-rc*)

that is: i could burn 1 dvd, which works fine, then the next i burn
fails, with io error, then the third i burns works.. in short, every
second works.. unless i reboot after each, then no one fails..

its a insanely strange problem. :) but atleast im able to get abit free
hd space now :)

well.. all good things must come to an end.. the second dvd i burned
failed.. :(
this is really frustrating.. but im pretty pretty sure its not media
error..
perhaps i must reboot after each burn again.. anyway, it is nice knowing

That's interesting, a short io starvation could for sure cause it. I
would really appreciate if you could try one change at the time though,
right now it's not really clear if it's acpi or the io scheduler.

Well, booted into 2.6.11-rc2-bk2 (ACPI config'd out) and my
 first growisofs session decided to die at 60% with the usual EIO :/

The fun thing is that retrying now shows growisofs calling a
 HUGE amount of these babies...

 while sitting in its initial prompt:

It looks like every kernel has its own :(

Now of course, after Ctrl-C'ing the growisofs session, a new
 attempt yielded this

[EMAIL PROTECTED] tmpburn]# growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=myfile.iso

Then, ejecting the disc and trying again, it went through.

Only thing I note is that after reloading, the WARNING about

I guess my next move will be borrowing a Windows CD and
 installing it on my former RedHat 9 partition, then trying
 to burn DVDs from there...

I can sort of guess - the CPU frequency changes (either from ACPI or
perhaps also from cpuspeed if in use ?) involve the CPU disconnecting
from the bus and reconnecting. There is much magic involved in this and
there are certainly chipset and CPU errata in this area.

I've got several reports like this that only happen with ACPI, and one
user whose burns report fine but are corrupted if ACPI is allowed to do
power manglement.

it doesn't have anything to do with ide-scsi scsi emulation,
direct-to-device SG_IO uses drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c (note the block/
directory, not scsi/).

strange that it doesn't catch anything...

Perhaps some command earlier is being rejected which causes this later
hardware reported error due to some setting being different? It could be
something like that, one thing is for sure - the error generated as
displayed _is_ a media error and it _is_ being generated by the
hardware.

Someone suggested logging possibly rejected commands, I think that would
be a good idea to try.

i got the latest version, and i just did this, nothing of this appeared
in dmesg, but also, i dont see what scsi_ioctl has to do with anything?
i dont use scsi emulation

when i do the following:

2: burn with my 2.6.11-rc1-bk9, and it fails
3: boot 2.6.9-rc1 and -rc4, and it works perfectly

The error is quite clear, sense 0x03/0x0c/0x00 is write error with no
additional specification of what kind. It's 100% certainly a drive
generated error, and I don't see any way that software is involved
there. Sense key 0x03 is a medium error.

Could be dirty drive, perhaps it needs cleaning?

Could also be a focus problem.

I'm definitely unconvinced about the possibility of bad media...

Retrying the burn process works, sometimes on first attempt,
 sometimes after tray reload, and all checksums from original
 files to the burned files are just okay. This happens with different
 discs from different brands.

So far I had *one* bad disc - that would keep the light on my
 DVD burner blinking forever until I hit the eject button, and
 made my laptop (2.6.11-rc2-bk1) DVD player barf:

Jan 24 03:02:13 incident kernel: ATAPI device hdc:
Jan 24 03:02:13 incident kernel:   Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
Jan 24 03:02:13 incident kernel:   No reference position found (media
may be upside down) -- (asc=0x06, ascq=0x00)
Jan 24 03:02:13 incident kernel:   The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity"
packet command was:
Jan 24 03:02:13 incident kernel:   "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 "



Earlier FC3 kernels had another problem (that now isn't surfacing
 anymore) that I described on the cdwrite list:

As with the original report, the drive is sending back a write error to

I'm definitely unconvinced about the possibility of bad media...

Retrying the burn process works, sometimes on first attempt,
 sometimes after tray reload, and all checksums from original
 files to the burned files are just okay. This happens with different
 discs from different brands.

So far I had *one* bad disc - that would keep the light on my
 DVD burner blinking forever until I hit the eject button, and
 made my laptop (2.6.11-rc2-bk1) DVD player barf:

The error is quite clear, sense 0x03/0x0c/0x00 is write error with no
additional specification of what kind. It's 100% certainly a drive
generated error, and I don't see any way that software is involved
there. Sense key 0x03 is a medium error.

  sometimes after tray reload, and all checksums from original

Could be dirty drive, perhaps it needs cleaning?

 You can test if it's the kernel/growisofs clashing by hacking the
 drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c  code
 
 It's around line 193 in 2.6.9, and line 196 in 2.6.10
 not sure about 2.6.11
at line 196
 
 find the code:
 
 /* Write-safe commands just require a writable open.. */
 if (type  CMD_WRITE_SAFE) {
 if (file-f_mode  FMODE_WRITE)
 return 0;
 }
 
 edit it to something like:
 
 /* Write-safe commands just require a writable open.. */
 if (type  CMD_WRITE_SAFE) {
 printk (Write safe command in );
 if (file-f_mode  FMODE_WRITE)
 printk (write mode.\n);
 else
 printk (read mode.\n);
 return 0;
 }
 
 Compile the kernel with that and that may make it work and burn dvd and let 
 you know if it's growisofs sending incorrect commands. You'll get messages in 
 dmesg like
 
 Write safe command in read mode.
 
 which means growisofs is still not right. Maybe later version fixed this?
i got the latest version, and i just did this, nothing of this appeared
in dmesg, but also, i dont see what scsi_ioctl has to do with anything?
i dont use scsi emulation

Perhaps some command earlier is being rejected which causes this later
hardware reported error due to some setting being different? It could be
something like that, one thing is for sure - the error generated as
displayed _is_ a media error and it _is_ being generated by the
hardware.

Someone suggested logging possibly rejected commands, I think that would
be a good idea to try.

it doesn't have anything to do with ide-scsi scsi emulation,

I can sort of guess - the CPU frequency changes (either from ACPI or

there are certainly chipset and CPU errata in this area.

 I can sort of guess - the CPU frequency changes (either from ACPI or

 there are certainly chipset and CPU errata in this area.

Well, booted into 2.6.11-rc2-bk2 (ACPI config'd out) and my

Worth an experiment but I'd be suprised if it was your fix. The more

You can test if it's the kernel/growisofs clashing by hacking the
drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c  code

It's around line 193 in 2.6.9, and line 196 in 2.6.10
not sure about 2.6.11

find the code:

/* Write-safe commands just require a writable open.. */
if (type & CMD_WRITE_SAFE) {
if (file->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE)
return 0;
}

edit it to something like:

/* Write-safe commands just require a writable open.. */
if (type & CMD_WRITE_SAFE) {
printk ("Write safe command in ");
if (file->f_mode & FMODE_WRITE)
printk ("write mode.\n");
else
printk ("read mode.\n");
return 0;
}

Compile the kernel with that and that may make it work and burn dvd and let 
you know if it's growisofs sending incorrect commands. You'll get messages in 
dmesg like

Write safe command in read mode.

which means growisofs is still not right. Maybe later version fixed this?

FWIW, I happen to experience the same with the latest
 FC3 kernel on my Samsung TS-H552 burner; that is,

1. CD burning works 100% of the time
2. DVD burning may fail with EIO (nothing in kernel logs)
3. retrying burning usually works

Yes, I resorted to only use DVD+RW media now since the
 ratio of coasters has made +R more expensive than +RW :(

Last night I had to insist quite a lot with my burner's eject
 button before it decided to open and let the disc out (this
 particular session after failing once at 61% with EIO would
 reliably fail at the initial write). After reloading the tray
 with the same disc, I successfully burned it.

NB - this happens with Memorex and Verbatim media,
 not with el-cheapo discs.

I'm available for eventually testing of the 2.6.11-xx kernels
 from kernel.org (another side-effect of moving from RH9
 plus kernel.org kernels to FC3 and its own kernel is that I
 no longer have a dead machine after the updatedb run,
 which would happen about twice a month on my 256MB
 RAM k7-800).
