It is coincidental that you have brought this back into focus on the same day that I sorted my version of the same problem and put up a web page about it. http://pigeon.dyndns.org/stuff/cw088d.html It looks like the CW-078D model has a similar bug to the CW-088D model which I could not burn with under 2.6. Floods of errors and lockups. The details varied according to which permutation of incantations I used but the result was the same: hit the reset button and thank the Lord for ext3. Strangely, though cdrecord was unusable, cdrdao worked fine, so at the cost of having to mess about with toc files I could still burn CDs. The solution, which was forced on me by the drive deciding that the CDs it burnt would no longer be readable, was to get a different model of drive. > - Using kernel 2.4 you can only burn ONCE !! But not precisely the same bug, because the CW-088D works fine under 2.4 and you can burn as many times as you want. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
