I have revived another PC running Debian 'lenny' and I can reproduce the message 'cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!'. However, the CD-R is still visible to user-land and some part of GNOME prompts me to burn data or audio to it. So I don't think this message itself indicates a problem, and the potential fix I found was addressing a different bug.
What is a problem, of course, is the lack of any acknowledgement of the
disc in the Plextor drive.
Please enable debugging messages by running:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/debug
Then insert a blank disc into the Plextor drive, and report the kernel
messages this produces.
To stop the debugging messages, run:
echo 0 >/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/debug
Also, please submit a separate bug report for the problems you had in
upgrading the kernel.
Ben.
