Re: Liteon 1693S stopped working with growisofs after upgrading firmware



Hi!
Sorry for you!
I think it is also important to upgrade to 2.6 !

I have tested memorex mediums and i can  NOT burn! (slackware 10.2 with kernel 2.4)
You remember: Platinum mediums worked well with slackware kernel 2.4!

Then i have installed fedora core 4 with kernel 2.6.11 and i can burn this medium (memorex)!!
i have also testet with TDK and prodye titanium (this was R- DVD and i have never heard about this medium before)
it was also a success.

When i insert a RW+ medium then growisofs began suddenly to count down and after 5 seconds it will burn perfectly.
When i insert a R+ Medium the speed begins to turn up and down (TDK and Platinum 2 times and memorex maybe 5-6 times) and then he begins to burn....
I think this medium is burn well (nero with windows can check this medium and its looks good - like a medium burns with window-nero)

If you are interestet about the mediums i have attached a textfile !
I think we have to wait for a new Kernel and KS0C - then it will burn R+ like RW+

Next week a New "Easy Linux" Magazine ist published!
The main theme is "Burning with Linux" and a tests about Medium Burners!
I will buy it - if there is a discussion about LiteON 1693S I will tell you!

The last thing i will tell you:  my burner don't ever worked with KS04! (only RW but NEVER with R+)
(because you wrote it worked well with the original Firmware.)
When i update to KS0A it will burns R-  (maybe a litte bit of luck)
growisofs is ok!
Nero for Linux has destroy the medium (when KS0A was installed)

Hi!

Sorry about my broken English!

I have the same problem since few weeks!

Today I think i have found the solution!?

I am a slackwareuser - i have tried slackware 10.2 (kernel 2.4 and 2.6), ubuntu 5.10 and fedora core 4.....then i have tried dvdrecord and nero for linux...i have tried 5 or 6 different medium...every time the same error as you! (RW ok but R- and R+ nok)

But today i search for a new version of growisofs (dvd+rw-tools).
I don't found a new version but i found different versions for 486 and 686
(slackwarepackage: dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.tgz and dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-i686-1jlp.tgz)
I deinstall the 486 version and install the 686 version and i was really surprise: growisofs burn the medium (platinum 8x)
mabey important: i have upgrade my firmware to KS0B!
I have an Athlon XP 3000

Tomorrow i will trie to compile a source growisofs and i will borrow from friends other mediums to test carefully.


I think the firmware upgrade is the most likely reason this is working. I don't see why a 486 version would give problems on a 686 system, although the other way would probably not work.


Upgraded firmware to KS0B, and exactly the same problem.

/dev/sr0: "Current Write Speed" is 3.3x1385KBps.
:-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=2h/ASC=04h/ACQ=01h]: No medium found
:-( write failed: No medium found

Looks like I'll be using Windows for my burning needs, *sigh*
