Hello again, sorry for the delay in responding. I think I've sorted it. It would appear that a somewhat careless general update on my part left me with an alpha version incompatible with the (also updated) mkisofs and cdrecord. I can't explain exactly how it happened - possibly I incorporated some cooker sites in my urpmi setup - a definite mistake given my limited knowledge, skills and patience. I took off everything and got hold of the earlier versions using rpmfind. Had to do it this way as urpmi seems to be broken. Anyway XCDroast is now reading and writing CDs again. Hurrah!

It was the last command you listed that showed me I was then running an experimental version of cdrecord and this put me on the right track.

[newbie] XCDRoast goes belly up!
Hi Y'all I've been using XCDroast for burning music CDs for the last 3 years or so and found it a brilliant program to use. However, in the last couple of days it has been unable to read CDs, telling me that there is no CD in the drive. At first, I thought that maybe the CDRW hardware was f***d and was on the verge of buying a new one (it's fairly old and slow) but I have still been able to burn CDs using Adaptec software under Windows (something I would prefer not to have to do). The following is an excerpt from dmesg which may or may not be relevant: sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST. sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST. sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. (There is) sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. sr0: CDROM not ready.

I'm totally lost with this. The hardware, a Mitsumi CR-4802TE, is apparently sound under Windows and until a couple of days ago it did the business under MDK 9.2 Any ideas? Cheers, -- Graham Watkins The notion that university is primarily about getting a qualification that will generate cash to enable you to pay back your fees and loans and spiralling debts is deeply insulting - but entirely consistent with the crass, stupid, book-blind, culture-hating government of a crass, stupid, culture-less, increasingly fractured society.
