The cd burning problems from phoebe are still there in 9, for me at least. I managed to get 5 good burns and 10 coasters yesterday. I was getting an every-other-try rate, then I got about 4 coasters in a row. Every burn attempt, successful or otherwise results in a "power on, reset, or bus device reset occurred" message during the fixate process. Unsuccessful burns follow this up with an "incompatible medium" message. The output from cdrecord for a successful burn followed by a failure is below. I had no problems under 8.0 with this system. The issue is further compounded by the fact that, though I've only been able to do a couple of burns with a CD-RW, my home system hasn't had any problems so far (not even the "bus device reset" message). I've killed and removed magicdev, and turned DMA on/off. Nothing seems to make a difference. My system: K6-2 450, VIA MVP-4 chipset with integrated video/audio, 384MB RAM, Sony CRX120E burner (4x8x2x). Anyone with similar issues or suggestions before I bugzilla this?
