Description of problem:
Trying to write an ISO image to an ATAPI writer, cdrecord fails to do
so claiming that the writer supports no writing modes:

[sun@nausicaa ~/temp/SMLA :( (1) 19]$ cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -tao

Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc   CD-R/CD-RW driver (mmc_cdr).
Driver flags   : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE
Supported modes:
cdrecord: Drive does not support TAO recording.
cdrecord: Illegal write mode for this drive.

The same occurs when passing "-dao" to cdrecord ("cdrecord: Drive does
not support SAO recording."). The drive has worked fine in this machine.
Writing to a SCSI-CDR in the same machine works fine with the same
cdrecord version.
kernel is kernel-2.6.8-1.526

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cdrecord-2.01.0.a37.99-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to write to an ATAPI writer
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  cdrecord claims no supported writing modes

Expected Results:  Writing to media

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2004-08-25 12:23:25 UTC
can you try:
instead of
# cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -tao
the ATA interface:
# cdrecord dev=ATA:1,0,0 -tao




Comment 2 Ralf Ertzinger 2004-08-25 17:27:34 UTC
The same result (the correct drive is being used).

Comment 3 Ralf Ertzinger 2004-08-27 16:47:32 UTC
The same command works as root.
