Can anyone help me understand what happened when I tried to burn a CD, and what I can do (if anything) to fix up the CD?
The burn seemed to go alright until the end, when it hung up and eventually failed (see log below). I can now read the CD when I put it in the writer, but not when I put it in the CD reader. mount /cdrom gives, after a pause, the error "mount: No medium found". I can mount and read regular CDs there, and the drive is only a couple of years old, so I think it should be able to handle CD-Rs. Here's the output of cdrecord trying to get multi-session info: wheat:/usr/local/rootlog# cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -msinfo cdrecord: Input/output error. read toc: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 43 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 04 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 12 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x24 Qual 0x00 (invalid field in cdb) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.005s timeout 40s cdrecord: Cannot read session offset I have an ATAPI drive (Sony CDU 928E) and built a custom kernel (2.2.18pre21) with scsi-ide and related modules. I am using the scsi-ide for the writer (formerly /dev/hdd) but have left the reader (/dev/hdc) alone. This means I have 2 drivers governing the same ide channel (if that's the right term). I don't know if that could cause trouble. There was nothing in hdc during the whole recording. wheat:/usr/local/rootlog# cdrecord -scanbus Cdrecord 1.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SONY ' 'CD-R CDU928E ' '1.1n' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) * When I first set things up I had both CD drives showing as SCSI, but now only the writer does. I believe this is a result of ide-cd grabbing the regular CD drive before ide-scsi gets it. Since I had set things up with the 2 SCSIs, this led to some of the [oops] below. I used GnomeToaster 0.3 under a potato system with bits of woody. I specified multi-session for this backup (data CD). Here are some of its preference lines: Recorder device /dev/scd1 [oops] mount point /cdrom [oops] SCSI id 0,0,0 [I edited this before I recorded] recording client cdrecord Fixating Command rec_clientrec_multisessionrec_dummymode dev=rec_scsiid speed=rec_speed -fix Trackwrite command rec_clientrec_multisessionrec_dummymode dev=rec_scsiid speed=rec_speed -nofix -$tracktype - Finally, here is the log of the toaster session. I tried a test without a write first; I'm not sure if that's still reflected in the log. (The test also hung at the end, but I hoped it would go away...)

Since I'm using modules, this probably doesn't matter. modules.conf includes options ide-cd ignore=hdd alias scd1 sr_mod Finally, when I started gtoaster I got the error wheat:/usr/local/rootlog# gtoaster GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. I assumed this was a result of launching gtoaster as root when I had started the X session as my regular user account.
