Hello all, could anyone tell me if they have experienced issues with older cdrom drives not particularly liking "burned" cd's of linux?
I guess it depends on how old your drives, but I'm using some Compaq drives from around '99 and up with no problems.

I have a stack of IBM xseries 305 servers and I frequently have issues with SLE cd's that I burn, I use the same burner and download methods as I did with Netware , I though at first it was the linux tools so I rebooted and burned a copy in Windows, still the cd has boot or copy errors, then I decided to burn a fresh netware 6.5 disk but it booted and copied files just fine. I got new SLE iso's from another computer and burned those on that machine still varying issues with boot and file copies. Any Ideas.
What are the specific problems you're having - older drives not being able to read the new CDs?
seems to be issues with grub and if they boot read errors
