This is an issue I've had for a while, but since I rarely burn CDs or DVDs I forget about it. But still I'd like to be able not to have to reboot to Windows XP to burn that occasional CD/DVD. So as you can gather both drives work with Nero/Windows XP so *something* is fishy with Linux. It used to work on Linux up until some point which I don't really remember. I did not switch to libata/pata_via because it's still marked as experimental (should I?). I don't have any SATA drives.
The commonly used libata PATA drivers are no longer considered experimental, in particular pata_via is not.
This message seems to be interresting: cdrecord: Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped. As on my system cdparanoia barfs if I don't disable DMA on the drive I'm trying to rip from.
ugh.. this sort of thing being a reason to try libata instead :-) In the long term that would likely be best as the IDE drivers are no longer very widely used and are less maintained.
Any help to fix this would be really welcome. --- # cdrecord -vvv dev=/dev/hdc haiku-alpha.iso cdrecord: No write mode specified. cdrecord: Asuming -sao mode. cdrecord: If your drive does not accept -sao, try -tao. cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults.

It's not clear what command it's complaining about that has failed. First it says that test unit ready succeeded, then it says that the drive reported a "medium not present" error. Is there any way to enable any more debugging in cdrecord? If you retry the burning attempt does the same thing happen?
