I've run into this exact bug with the DVDRAM GSA-T50L on an Asus x83vm, running 64bit jaunty.
I get Buffer I/O errors as well as the output from sudo hdparm -i /dev/cdrom, HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: No message of desired type. This seems to be a fairly widespread error, as the I know two other people with this device encountering this bug, on asus x83vb model laptops. I thought I would have to find a driver or firmware fix, but I've just figured out something that works. From within the bios, I switched the IDE mode from enhanced to compatibility and can now write to the device just fine. I have only tested this burning an audio cd so far. Hope that helps, this is a seriously frustrating bug. -- DVDRAM GSA-T50L will not write DVD's or CD's https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307477 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
