We really cannot fix a broken DVD writer... 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. 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. 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? (In reply to comment #4) I don't really understand, please describe when exactly you get this error. 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. 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. |
