[Bug 62896] SATA drive won't burn CD or DVD

Fri Sep 29 23:38:29 UTC 2006

Public bug reported:

This problem still exists in Edgy BETA!

DAO burning doesn't work either; it'll instead use SAO. Below is the
debug output from k3b using SAO:

Below the original support request:

Using k3b (cdrecord or growisofs) on a Lenovo 3000 N100 Laptop with a CD/DVD double-layer burner, no burning 
is possible: neither CD-ROM, nor DVD or DVD DL works.

CD-ROM burn process fails with the error (from the debug log):
