When I use the writing-capabilities (in simulation!), after a while, the (simulated) writing process will terminate and my syslog begins to get filled with plenty of repeated kernel error messages related to my DVD-writer. My DVD-writer, from that time on, is unusable until the next reboot. The only thing I found to stop kernel error logging is to unload the ide_cd_mod module.

Here attached, you will find my setup and what I exactly did to produce the problem. Please note that the first DVD-writing attempt did NOT trigger the error, thus I guess there is some randomness included. But I got the problem each time I tried to write at speed=1 (I guess, because the time to terminate the process is longer so more chance to trigger the problem).

Does this error still occur with more recent kernel versions?
Yes, it does. I just aptitude-installed linux-image-2.6.30-1-686, rebooted, and tried wodim -dev=/dev/hdd speed=1 ...iso (some iso file I had on my disk) and after less than one minute, the process stopped and it began filling the syslog again, until rmmod ide_cd_mod.

Please also tell me how to reset ide_cd_mod and my dvd drive after a crash if you know it, so that I do not have to reboot the computer between each try.

Thanks for taking care.
Olivier
