The woody version of cdrecord is too old to play nicely with 2.6 kernels. You need a 2.x version from backports.org. deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable cdrtools cdrdao Even that isn't guaranteed to work. With my CD-RW (CyberDrive CW088D) and kernel 2.6.6, cdrecord causes a flood of drive errors and sometimes locks the system up, no matter whether I use ide-cd or ide-scsi. Fortunately, cdrdao does work. There has been a poisonous ding-dong between Joerg Schilling and the Linux kernel developers for years - the bitching about the driver in the Readme file is only a wee bit of it - and the flaky CD burning under 2.6 seems to be a result of this. Which is dead and chewed. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
