However, if it probes your CD drive while you're burning, it can kill your burn. I think you have to remove it using GNOME's session manager.

Re: Burning CD fails: OPC error
No I haven't. How does magicdev relate to CD burning?

Did you kill magicdev and make sure your session manager didn't restart it?

Any ideas? I don't have ANY if those items in my modules.conf, and my sony CRX210A1 CDRW works fine for me. The only configuration setting is in /etc/grub.conf, where it says: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.9-34 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi hdf=ide-scsi so tht both of my CD drives use scsi emulation. I HAVE had trouble, in the past (with another much older CDRW drive) with certain brands/types of CDRW media that it either refused to recognize, or would recognize then fail during the burn operation. have you tried a different brand of blank CDRW? I've had best luck with TDK or Fuji 700 meg media.

Re: Burning CD fails: OPC error
Thanks for your suggestion, only problem is I can't 'alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi' because scsi_hostadapter is already alias'd to my real SCSI adapter. Any ideas?

(I don't think the burner is anything out of the ordinary: a SONY CD-RW CRX220E1, 52X/24/X/52X). I have little more than a vague understanding as to why this fix works and would be interested in any comments from the more technically knowledgeable: (1) I use cdrecord from the command line or xcdroast (one of its GUIs) (2) "cdrecord -scanbus" lists the device as 0,0,0 (3) /etc/modules.conf includes the lines: options ide-cd ignore=hdc alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi alias scsi_cd ide-scsi alias scd0 sr_mod (4) Although the burner specs give a write speed of 24X I don't use speeds higher than 8X. (5) I have the FIFO Buffer set to 16MB, the largest value possible in the xcdroast "Setup - CD Settings" menu. (6) I've been using heavily discounted Memorex CD-R's. I hope this helps!
