From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Galeon/1.3.15 Description of problem: I have a LiteOn 52x24x52 drive that previously under FC1 rewrote at 24x. However, with FC2, I now only get 4x speed. This is using the *same* CD-RW I used to get 24x on in FC1 with no visible damage to it. Note that with the same setup, I do get 52x writing speed. I am not sure how to solve this, and this problem has been reported on the mailing list: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-May/msg07385.html As for my info, cdrecord -scanbus reports my device at 0,1,0, so in /etc/cdrecord.conf I have set up (removing all the comments): CDR_DEVICE=liteon CDR_FIFOSIZE=4m liteon= ATAPI:0,1,0 -1 -1 burnfree Now, this setup does work because my "make boot cd" script runs correctly and writes a boot cd. This script is (essentially): echo "Making the boot image..." mkbootdisk --iso --device $TMPIMG $CURR_KERNEL # if ask -y "Should I blank the disk?"; then cdrecord -blank=fast fi echo "Writing to disk..." cdrecord -eject -data $TMPIMG echo "Calloo! Callay! O, frabjous day!" In FC1, this would have cdrecord autodetect the CD-RW, see it could be written to at 24x and write it. But now it doesn't. Any help? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cdrecord-2.01-0.a27.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run cdrecord -eject -data IMGFILE 2. 3. Actual Results: Wrote to CD-RW at 4x speed Expected Results: Should have rewritten at 24x speed as in FC1 Additional info:
OK, this may be a media error. I decided to go out and buy a new 24x CD-RW disc. This one, surprise, does rewrite at 24x. So, it could be that something changed in cdrecord to show my old disc was bad, or something else. I'll try to get more discs and investigate this.
