I am also having this problem on hardy. Other interesting related facts on upgrading from gutsy to hardy: Mount changes (gutsy -> hardy): /dev/hdb1 -> /dev/sdb1
So it seems like the scsi/ata driver has taken over all of my IDE devices. I am on an nvidia4 chipset, with an old HP 9300+ CDRW drive output from "wodim -blank=fast -dev=/dev/scd1": Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 5 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : Vendor_info : 'HP ' Identification : 'CD-Writer+ 9300 ' Revision : '1.0b' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.

I also have tried adding "combined_mode=libata" to my kernel params and adding a new file to /etc/modprobe.d with this line in it: options libata atapi_enabled=1 Neither have helped. My linux HD is a SATA2 drive with NCQ enabled, not sure if that makes any difference. ** Attachment added: "My dmesg if it helps." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13949363/dmesg -- Error while burning DVD-RWs: Input/output error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/15424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
