cdrecord _used_ to work ... dropped support for Generic mmc2?
Here's a puzzle from the Twilight Zone.
<bleat>
I can't write CD-R discs with cdrecord - it objects on the grounds of my
giving it DVD media - but I'm feeding it CD-R blanks.
CD-RW discs work just fine as do DVD-RW with growisofs.
I _used_ to be able to write CD-R - I have several as evidence from a
couple of months ago. Since then I have changed nothing substantial. Same
old CD writer, same old kernel, same old computer. Gentoo itself gets
fairly frequent updates - about once a week to do a sync & emerge -uvD
world. But cdrecord depends on no shared libraries other than:
root@raita:complete/ # ldd `which cdrecord`
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e3b000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7f6e000)
I tried different CD-R blank media (from el cheapo to expensive
Verbatim). Same individual discs work on another computer at work having
failed at home.
I tried several old and new versions of cdrecord
(app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha07, app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01-r1,
app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01-r3) and cdrecord-prodvd
(app-cdr/cdrecord-prodvd-2.01.01_p03) as well as a 6-month-oldish FreeBSD
dual-boot OS on the same hardware (with cdrecord - burncd never worked
for me). I tried downloading Jorg Schilly's latest cdrtools-alpha
(alpha09) direct from his website without the Gentoo patches.
I even tried strapping it as a Master IDE instead of as a Slave.
All give the same result.
Kernel is 2.6.14-gentoo-r5

... or perhaps the hardware is on the way out - but how come I can write
the (supposedly more-demanding) CD-RW and DVD?????
Here's what I get with alpha09:
