Hi all. I have a Traxdata CDRW2260 cd burner which until recently has burned audio cds quite happily using XCDroast. However it has now started to fail. Using XDRoast I got two cds which failed about two thirds of the way through. No material on them was readable on any CD drive. I looked in var/log/messages and found the following : Apr 9 14:04:59 Normans kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) Apr 9 14:06:07 Normans kernel: ide-scsi: hdc: unsupported command in request queue (0) Apr 9 14:06:07 Normans kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc), sector 0 Apr 9 14:06:07 Normans kernel: ide-scsi: hdd: unsupported command in request queue (0) Apr 9 14:06:07 Normans kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 0 Apr 9 14:35:08 Normans -- MARK -- Apr 9 14:55:08 Normans -- MARK -- I then decide to use cdrecord from the console, a dummy write was successful and I was also able to write a few tracks to a cdrw as a test. But when I went for a real burn it again died half way through and left me with another coaster. The relevant error message is : Executing 'test unit ready command on Bus 0 Target 1, Lun 0 timeout 240s CDB: 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 cdrecord: Input/output error, read disk info: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 staus: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense bytes: FO 00 02 00 00 00 00 19 00 00 6A 6E 3A 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0 Sense Code 0x3A Qual 0x00 (medium not present) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (valid) cmd finished after 0.0002s timeout 240s The same drive works in W98 using WinonCD I ahve burnt a couple of CD's successfully since the problems in Linux starteds o I don't think its a hardware problem Can anyone offer any clues as to what might be going wrong and how I might fix it ?
