Hello. I've been having trouble with cdrecord on my Acer 4406eu usb cdrw drive. Just as a check, I have verified that it works fine under windows 2k. In fact, for a day it worked fine under linux, and I haven't been able to figure out what changed that made it no longer work. :(
It has no problem with reading, only with writing (using cdrecord). I consistently (regardless of the cd image I'm writing) get the same error after the same number of bytes are written (this is using -V output): Executing 'write_g1' command on Bus 0 Target 0, Lun 0 timeout 40s CDB: 2A 00 00 00 02 4D 00 00 1F 00 cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 2A 00 00 00 02 4D 00 00 1F 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 0C 09 00 00 Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x0C Qual 0x09 (write error - loss of streaming) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 1.968s timeout 40s cdrecord: Input/output error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 2A 00 00 00 02 4D 00 00 1F 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 0C 09 00 00 Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x0C Qual 0x09 (write error - loss of streaming) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 1.968s timeout 40s write track data: error after 1206272 bytes The usb drive is connected to a thinkpad X21 computer. If any of you have experience with this (or a similar) drive, or have any suggestions as to how I might debug this problem, please let me know. Oh yeah, and I'm running kernel 2.4.12 and unstable, although I've also tested this with 2.4.10. -- David
