Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20

A detailed discussion about this case has been archived via the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list here: http://www.mail-
archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg11361.html

I'll try to provide only the most immediately relevant details here to
hopefully avoid providing too much noise.

- This doesn't appear to be a hardware failure because the machine with
the failure dual-boots into WindowsXP and both Nero and
cdrecord-2.01.01a35 are able to burn CDs and DVDs.

- First observed the problem on an Edgy Eft install but I didn't record
any of the failure information at the time.

- Now on Feisty Fawn and yesterday I tried booting a Gutsy Gibbon kernel
(2.6.22-11) without success, though the failure reported different
problems.

Similarly, explicitly choosing any write mode (-dao, -sao, -raw96r,
etc.) results in precisely the same errors.  In order to bring the issue
to the attention of the cdrecord author, I also installed cdrtools and
tried with that:

Finally, someone had suggested I try using growisofs on a pre-master DVD
iso, which also seemed to fail in the same way:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp/backup# file backup.iso 
backup.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data UDF filesystem data (unknown 
version, id 'NSR0

:-[ MODE SELECT failed with SK=5h/ASC=1Ah/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem looks like it might be connected to Bug #109327, but the
solution of updating to the latest Gutsy kernel didn't provide a fix and
not all the symptoms seem the same, which has led me to open this bug
too.

Finally, booting the Gutsy kernel from yesterday, attempting to burn
backup.iso to a DVD using the official cdrecord I had slightly different
behaviour, but I don't know if this is relevant or not:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The disc didn't appear to have anything actually written to it, though.
Burning the DVD image with growisofs and the gutsy kernel seemed to burn
successfully, but the resulting disc was a coaster, could not be mounted
subsequently either the burning machine (before or after a reboot) or on
another machine.
