I use to have the same problem... Either upgrading to the latest 2.2.3 (I think) or the latest cdrecord helped me. (I use the cdrecord and xcdroast from slink). > >So, my advice for you is to first try 4.14, and only if it doesn't >work, then try the 4.17. AFAIK 4.17 doesn't have any significant >improvements. See http://homepages.tig.com.au/~cdysan/cw-7502/ Thanks. I will probably try 4.17 first - if I have the same problem as you, at least I should find out sooner ;-). >Oh well, I won't whine any more -- this doesn't help *your* >problem.

I don't know what fixed the same problem for me - it just ... vanished ;-) -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
