Hi, I've searched on the net, and it seems that it's only me having this problem -- my cdrom/cdrm is not fully working:
I've noticed long time before that my eject command is not working properly: $ eject eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device The result is same for both normal user and root. Today, I've found out that my "cdrecord -msinfo" is not working. Strangely, the "cdrecord -toc" command is working fine: $ cdrecord -msinfo cdrecord: Drive needs to reload the media to return to proper status. cdrecord: Input/output error. read track info: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 52 01 00 00 00 FF 00 00 1C 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 30 06 00 00 Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x30 Qual 0x06 (cannot format medium - incompatible medium) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 240s cdrecord: Cannot get next writable address for 'invisible' track. cdrecord: This means that we are checking recorded media. cdrecord: This media cannot be written in streaming mode anymore. cdrecord: If you like to write to 'preformatted' RW media, try to blank the media first. cdrecord: Cannot read first writable address $ cdrecord -toc Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a34 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg 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.

I know it is a weired problem. Please spend some time and think it over for me, because I have no clue what could be wrong. Things has always been working out of box for me for other distros. FYI, I installed the SCSI simulation after noticing that "cdrecord -scanbus" not working after freshly install Debian, but I've forgot how I did it, so that I can't get back and try ATAPI... Thanks a lot for your help. tong PS, I'm using Debian testing, 2.4.25-1-386.
