I got the following error trying to burn a DVD on an IBM USB2 DVD-R burner:
Nov 7 11:40:36 makani kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks
I recognize!
Nov 7 11:41:59 makani kernel: sr 0:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code =
0x8000002
Nov 7 11:41:59 makani kernel: sr0: Current: sense key: Data Protect
Nov 7 11:41:59 makani kernel: ASC=0x27 <<vendor>> ASCQ=0xff
This is on Fedora Core 4 and kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4.
It turns out that this is because the drive did not have enough power
(it was not plugged into the separate ac adapter). I was able to
determine this by booting into Windows, which gave me a nice descriptive
error message.
I was wondering if it makes sense for the kernel drivers to know these
error messages and report better errors, of it should be left up to user
space tools.
