Hi,
Hopefully this is the right sort of question for this list, otherwise
let me know and I'll head to debian-user.
I'm having troubles with the dvd writer in my notebook. Sometimes dvds
don't read at all (xine segfaults), writing cds tends to lock things up
- if I try and do anything else while writing a cd, there can be
corruption of the data written.
Also, ripping from audio cds is often very slow, but I am not sure if
this is connected, since the errors shown below do not appear.
It does not make any difference whether dma is on or off or what the dma
mode is.
While accessing the drive, the syslog is filled with this sort of stuff:

This notebook does not have windows on it, so I can not check the drive
to see if there are also problems there. Is there anyway I can check for
hardware problems without trying it in a machine running a different OS?
cheers
