Okay, I've been burning CD's fine for a while but recently it hasn't been working and I can't figure out why. When I use the proper cdrecord command, I hear what sounds like my CDR drive beginning to spin, then stopping, several times, then cdrecord quits with some output I can't interpret. Here is a log of the output from cdrecord: [root : /var/images]# cdrecord -v dev=0,0 speed=2 image1.raw Cdrecord release 1.8a29 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 Jörg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '0,0' scsibus: 0 target: 0 lun: 0 Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' atapi: 1 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 0 Response Format: 1 Vendor_info : 'MITSUMI ' Identifikation : 'CR-2801TE ' Revision : '1.07' Device seems to be: Philips CDD-522.

[root : /var/images]# I'm using an ATAPI Mitsumi CR-2801TE CDR drive in SCSI-emulation, and Mandrake 7.0. I've always been able to burn CD's fine with it, but I started getting this problem after compiling a kernel with SCSI support build in (instead of modularized). But now I'm using the stock kernel in 7.0 and it still isn't working. Any help, even just explaining what kind of problem is indicated by the error output from cdrecord, would be greatly appreciated. -Tom
