Bug#536316: linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: Lenny doesn't detect blank media in IDE slave CD-RW



I have revived another PC running Debian 'lenny' and I can reproduce the
message 'cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!'.
However, the CD-R is still visible to user-land and some part of GNOME
prompts me to burn data or audio to it.  So I don't think this message
itself indicates a problem, and the potential fix I found was addressing
a different bug.

What is a problem, of course, is the lack of any acknowledgement of the
disc in the Plextor drive.

Please enable debugging messages by running:
    echo 1 >/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/debug
Then insert a blank disc into the Plextor drive, and report the kernel
messages this produces.

To stop the debugging messages, run:
    echo 0 >/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/debug

Also, please submit a separate bug report for the problems you had in
upgrading the kernel.

Ben.
