under Lenny, the CD writer will not recognise a blank CD. Nothing. The

Any ideas?
Humm... you might want to check how HAL detects that devices. There are
some GUIs, but you can send a report with:

 hal-find-by-capability  --capability storage.cdrom | xargs hal-device
I reported a bug [1] against hal package, I'm not sure, but my dvd are
not recognized anymore, like in this thread ( I referenced it in the
bug)

I'm using sid, with DVD+-RW GSA-H53L unit.

Bruce, did you find any solution to this issue ?

Thanks,

No solution. I have come to the conclusion that it is probably a kernel issue because the kernel never shows that it recognises there is a blank disc in that drive under Lenny. I have a bit of testing to do which hasn't been done because I have been away for a little while.
