We really cannot fix a broken DVD writer...
Comment 2 Lee Trager 2005-09-27 04:46:26 UTC
I didnt think the drive itself was broken because just the otherday I was
burning DVDs/CDs fine. Infact I burned a CD right before this. Well I guess ill
RMA it.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-27 04:51:13 UTC
According to the dmesg output, there's definitely something really wrong w/ the
drive. You can try in another computer or using some livecd linux distro, but it
does not look sane. Might also be just a bad cable.
Comment 4 Lee Trager 2005-10-02 19:48:52 UTC
I didnt get a chance to really play around with my DVD burner till today but I
downloaded Nero for Linux and everything is fine, there is no dmesg at all. The
only time I get this error is with some DVD ISOs(knoppix for example) and
possibly some media types(maxell DVD+RW). Could this be a problem with
DVD+RW/+R/-R[W] tools?
Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-02 23:22:08 UTC

I don't really understand, please describe when exactly you get this error. 
Comment 6 Lee Trager 2005-10-03 04:50:28 UTC
Whenever I burn a DVD with k3b using growisofs I get that dmesg. Sometimes it
will burn the DVD fine other times it will error out. If I use Nero For Linux it
burns just fine, there is no dmesg.

I'm sorry but something that is sometimes reproducible, sometimes not and
sometimes happens with some media and not with others and with some ISOs and not
with others really suggests that your hardware is not in a sane shape and
randomly fails. I'd also suggest that you check the media burnt w/ Nero if they
are actually readable and not faulty. 
Comment 8 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-03 11:12:17 UTC
it seems to me that is a DMA problem. Try another kernel version and take a look
at your BIOS.
You can try to modify a few things with hdparm.
