Thanks for your bug report. It looks like cdrecord is currently incompatible with linux 2.6. This issue typically occurs on Edgy but not Dapper. Until cdrecord is updated, I recommend using an older 2.4 kernel if you do a lot of cd-burning. This might be found as an option on your grub boot menu.
(NB. Someone please correct me if Edgy can't be run with a 2.4 kernel) -- cdrecord can't write / blank cd-rw https://launchpad.net/bugs/48504 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
