I'm using kernel 2.6.12-10 and cdrecord 2.01 both of which are standard
packages from ubuntu for an updated 5.10.  

CD Creator goes through the motions but nothing happens at the drive.

cdrecord from the command line gives me:

ckasso at lochness:~$ sudo cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrw -scanbus
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01.01a01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Joerg Schilling
NOTE: this version of cdrecord is an inofficial (modified) release of cdrecord
      and thus may have bugs that are not present in the original version.
      Please send bug reports and support requests to <cdrtools at packages.debian.org>.
      The original author should not be bothered with problems of this version.

cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.12-10-386
cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer.
cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris.

It hangs there.

Any references to some reading material on this?

Thanks,
