    With this array of modules:
    sg 34112 0
    sr_mod 17700 0
    ide_scsi 15556 0
    scsi_mod 126952 3 sg,sr_mod,ide_scsi
    ide_cd 40004 0

    Where ide_cd was told to ignore hdc (inspired from the dvd+rw-tools
    web), I got this:

    Not sure what it says, but I see one sesssion there. I guess that's
    from my previos burn attempt. I seemed to be successful with:

    tippex root # dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/sr0
    * DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.10.

    No errors reported! Now I get:

    the burner:

    Yep. I get the feeling my media and the drive as-is don't like each
    other. What are the chances that the device is faulty but i can still
    blank the media (btw where can I read up on blanking vs. formating?)
