I suspect this is problem occurs only for WRITE capable devices. I have a store-bought CD with Ubuntu install. In one DVD drive it had the "error . . . sr0" problem, but in the other DVD drive it did not. The difference is that it failed on the burner, but succeeded on the ROM. (I.e., failed on write capable DVD drive, succeeded on read-only DVD drive.)
My theory is this: For certain (but not all) write capable (burner) DVD devices, the OS might be misinformed that it can write to the device. Upon believing that it has the ability to write, the OS might try to write. But of course the **device** capabilities don't matter when the CD **media** is not in fact write-able; therefore, the attempt to write fails and an error is reported. Use a read only device, or try the "all_generic_ide" command line option, mentioned in Olivier Prieur post of 2009-01-04, above. -- Buffer I/O error on device sr0 Logical Block XXXXXX in Intrepid Ibex Alpha 5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/266951 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
