With current rawhide, I can't burn to a DVD-RW with growisofs. Here's what it prints: Executing 'mkisofs -dvd-video /tmp/dvdburn.4393/dvd | builtin_dd of=/dev/dvdrw obs=32k seek=0' I: -input-charset not specified, using iso-8859-1 (detected in locale settings) 0.43% done, estimate finish Sat Sep 20 23:15:28 2008 /dev/dvdrw: engaging DVD-RW DAO upon user request... /dev/dvdrw: reserving 1163209 blocks /dev/dvdrw: "Current Write Speed" is 4.1x1352KBps. 0.86% done, estimate finish Sun Sep 21 00:07:48 2008 :-[ WRITE@LBA=bf0h failed with SK=2h/LOGICAL UNIT IS IN PROCESS OF BECOMING READY]: Resource temporarily unavailable :-( write failed: Resource temporarily unavailable /dev/dvdrw: flushing cache :-[ FLUSH CACHE failed with SK=2h/LOGICAL UNIT IS IN PROCESS OF BECOMING READY]: Resource temporarily unavailable And here's what the kernel logs: Sep 20 23:16:56 jik2 kernel: ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen Sep 20 23:16:56 jik2 kernel: ata2.00: cmd a0/01:00:00:20:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 dma 16416 in Sep 20 23:16:56 jik2 kernel: cdb 51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Sep 20 23:16:56 jik2 kernel: res 40/00:03:00:0c:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x4 (timeout) Sep 20 23:16:56 jik2 kernel: ata2.00: status: { DRDY } Sep 20 23:17:01 jik2 kernel: ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) Sep 20 23:17:06 jik2 kernel: ata2: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset Sep 20 23:17:06 jik2 kernel: ata2: soft resetting link Sep 20 23:17:08 jik2 kernel: ata2.00: configured for UDMA/66 Sep 20 23:17:08 jik2 kernel: ata2: EH complete Sep 20 23:17:14 jik2 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 Sep 20 23:17:14 jik2 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0 Sep 20 23:17:14 jik2 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0 Sep 20 23:17:14 jik2 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0 This problem does not occur with a DVD+R. I've tried downgrading to kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686 and kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686, and neither of them solved this problem. (This suggests that I'm filing this bug in the wrong component, but I don't know where better to file it.) I also tried downgrading to dvd+rw-tools-7.0-11.fc9, and that didn't help either. This used to work. I suppose it's possible that my hardware has gone south somehow, but it seems like something from rawhide being borked is a more likely explanation, so I thought I should file a ticket about it just in case...
Problem persists in kernel-2.6.27.4-79.fc10.i686. I tried kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 and it had the same problem. Then I tried kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8.i686 and it worked. So apparently I had to go back to an FC8 kernel for this to work again.
On the other hand, I can't stick with the FC8 kernel because the newer X server segfaults and crashes regularly when running in top of the FC8 kernel. So apparently I have to choose between a working X server and working DVD-RW burning. Another data point: DVD+RW burning apparently works just fine.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Should be closed EOL, it appears this bug was squished.
