Re: CD burning problems with SLES9 SP3

Hello,

If you like to see this SuSE initiated war to end, send as many
complaints to Suse as possible, I am helpless against the attacks against
usability that are a result of missing knowledge at Suse's side...

You always have the option to download a non-bastardized original
from
ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

compile it by your own and install it suid-root. Note that in contrary what
many uninformed people from Linux distributors claim, cdrecord needs to be
installed suid-root on Linux in order to work correctly.

I understand your point very well - but I also understand the point of
GNU/Linux distributors that they can't be up to date and agree with all
the 10^6 developers of all GNU/Linux components and their countless
opinions about release cycles, api changes and licenses.

You are having the following problems:

- You did not read the documentation and thus used dev=ATA: instead of
dev=ATAPI:

- You have either a defective drive or defective media.
If you did read the messages, you should know about this....

Thanks. The warning that libsg was in pre-alpha state looked more
important and usually the ATAPI transport worked despite of the warning
about ATA. The weird is that sometimes it works with the same drive and
_same_ media and sometimes not. Therefore I expected driver oddities
due to newer hardware than software and the pre-alpha warning.

Regards,
Bernd
