Hi Christoph, I don't have all the answers, but hopefully this points you in the right direction.

Judging by the output you posted it would seem that there are no errors, so the CD should have been blanked. The toc command failed. To me that would indicate that there is no toc and therefor the disc is empty. > At first, I wrote a first session as track1 on this CD-RW. > Then I'd like to burn a newer edition of Sarge-CD-ISO-Images, > I used > cdrecord -v -blank=fast dev=0,6,0 speed=4 ./sarge-i386-1.iso > but in result, the CD-RW wasn't blanked. With such a line it seems you are trying to blank the disc and burn an iso to it in one go. I suggest you try this with two separate commands, so that would be something like: cdrecord -v -blank=fast dev=0,6,0 speed=4 cdrecord -v dev=0,6,0 speed=4 ./sarge-i386-1.iso > Furthermore, a track1 still exists on this disc. > At the second attempt with > cdrecord -v -blank=fast dev=0,6,0 speed=4 ./sarge-i386-1.iso > the disc still wasn't blanked quickly. > Furthermore, a new session as track2 was added and written, until this > CD-RW was filled up completely... You seem to be making a multi-session cd then. There is no need for that, as the sarge iso will take up almost all space on your cd anyway. Just make it a 'normal' cd. Maybe you need to explicitly specify the write mode you need for your drive. I'm no expert there though, so I would redirect you to the man page for cdrecord. Supported modes for your drive as reported by your cdrecord output are TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R96R. Perhaps you could tweak the defaults in /etc/default/cdrecord.
