i fell stupid asking this but i've searched all over and can't find an answer. i'm having some trouble burning a cd. I think(?) everything is setup right, it just dosen't work. Heres what happens: # cdrecord dev=0,0,0 fs=4096k -v -useinfo speed=1 -eject -pad -audio /home/blunted/auto/cdrout/* Then does all that stuff, it recognises the drive, goes through the tracks, etc, input buffer ready...and then it "preforming OPC" and comes back "cdrecord: Input/output error. read track info: scsi sendcmd: no error" and then gives me some other info and then "Fixating.. input/output error. close track/session. scsi sendcmd no error" and then gives me info similar to that given after the first error. And then it quits with nothing written to cd. # dmesg < --- cut --- > hdd:DMA hda: WDC AC36400L, ATA DISK drive hdc: CRD-8240B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 9100, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hda: 12594960 sectors (6449 MB) w/256KiB Cache, CHS=13328/15/63, UDMA(33) hdc: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv Partition check: hda: hda1 Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306 loop: loaded (max 8 devices) ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE.
