Bug#294691: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp: DVD Burner fails to function after burning a CD-R



Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp
Version: 2.6.8-10
Severity: normal


At some point recently, my DVD Burner failed to return md5sums from
recently created discs.  As this was an inexpensive small-name brand
device, I assumed that it had merely quit functioning and picked up a
Pioneer DVR-109 as a replacement.

That too, does not function.

I can do an MD5 sum on a disc if I do not burn any CDs from that drive,
but once I burn a CD, reading from the drive becomes... problematic.
The drive is mountable and its contents are readable, but the md5sum
program returns the same md5sum each time, no matter what disc, no
matter what iso image.  Also, mounting CDs afterwards may or may not
work.

Switching to the kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686-smp from sid has no effect on the
problem.

Switching to the 2.6.9 kernel used with Knoppix 3.7 appears to fix the
problem if I have both drives plugged in at the same time.

This is really odd.

I'm going to do a fresh install of Sarge soon to see if this solves the
problem.
