Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cdrecord

Using cdrecord to write from command line.

Disk appears to be physically written, i.e. I can see the change of
colour one would expect.

Running cdrecord on dummy mode kicks up no problems, so i do the
commands as shown below.

john at XubLap:~/Downloads/sys$ cdrecord -v dev=/dev/scd0 speed=7 archlinux-2008.06-core-i686.iso

However, upon entering the cd again after it was written, dmesg reports

[11193.687112] cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

I then tried to fixate the disk using cdrecord, also shown below. This
has no effect.
