I can confirm that the workaround from Wenzhuo Zhang solves my problem with burning.
However, the problem manifested itself in a different way. I have an internal PHILIPS DVD+/-RW SDVD8441 dvd writer device, and the chipset is ICH6 (also using (ata_)piix driver). Burning a CD does not immediately fail, but it usually fails after 100-200MB of data is written. I had no problems adding the old ATA drivers to the initial ramdisk, but people should check that grub (root=UUID=...) and /etc/fstab use UUIDs for identifying the filesystems, otherwise this operation could render the system unbootable. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.20 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: cdrw piix -- feisty doesn't work with external CD writers anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
