Hello all, I have been trying to burn a particular image to CD for the last 4 hours now. In the process, I have killed 5 CD's from the same bundle. cdrecord gets about 25-30% done with the burn, and then it gives output like this:
Waiting for reader process to fill input-buffer ... input-buffer ready. Starting new track at sector: 0 cdrecord: Success. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 2A 00 00 02 2B D0 00 00 10 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: F0 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 03 A4 DE 02 FF 00 00 Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x02 Qual 0xFF (no seek complete) [No matching qualifier] Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (valid) cmd finished after 6.077s timeout 40s write track data: error after 291405824 bytes Sense Bytes: F0 00 00 00 00 00 00 0A 00 03 A9 8D 00 00 00 00 00 00 Writing time: 969.163s Fixating... cdrecord: Success. close track/session: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 5B 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: F0 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 03 A9 95 2C 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x2C Qual 0x00 (command sequence error) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (valid) cmd finished after 0.008s timeout 480s Fixating time: 0.009s cdrecord: fifo had 9021 puts and 8894 gets. cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 8789 times full, min fill was 70%. ... I doubt that the drive is damaged, because I wrote a CD earlier today and it worked perfectly. I also doubt that it is the fault of Linux, because when I tried to burn the same CD from Windows, it hung after getting through about 30% of the burn. The CD-RW is a Memorex CRW-1622 using IDE-SCSI on Kernel 2.2.2. Any ideas, or do I have a bad batch of CD's here? Thanks, Steve
