DVD+RW kernel patch - scsi error (help!)
I am having a problem with burning DVD+RW's with my new DVD recorder.
After patching the 2.4.18 kernel with Andy Polyakov's DVD+RW kernel patch,
I am getting the follow error when I attempt to 'mkudffs --spartable=2
--media-type=cdrw'

Running a 'mount -o rw,noatime /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom' and trying to copy
information to the volume invariably leads to failure. I am running the
kernel 2.4.18, but have seen this error under 2.4.21 and 2.4.22, as well.
Does anyone know what could be happening, here? I can't make heads or
tails out of this message.
Strange thing: I successfully made three backups without error when I
first installed this drive.
Thanks in advance!
