openSUSE 11.2 (64bit): 1st burner fails, 2nd one works...

[Ygriega]

Hi there,

I did a new installation of openSUSE 11.2 last Sunday and was pretty impressed how smoothly everything worked. I even got my DVB-C card to work (finally) after a short compiler run. Thumbs up to the developers!

However, I have a strange issue with my CD/DVD burners. The first one fails at every attempt to write a CD (DVDs not tested since simulation doesn't work and I don't want to screw a lot of innocent media). The second one works perfectly fine. And yes, I tried to burn as root. Moreover, the first drive is obviously OK, burning without any issues under openSUSE 11.0 (32bit) and Windows XP Professional (32bit).

System Setup:
openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64)
Linux 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop x86_64

First drive:
===
wodim -checkdrive dev=/dev/sr0
Device type : Removable CD-ROM
Version : 5
Response Format: 2
Capabilities :
Vendor_info : 'HL-DT-ST'
Identification : 'BDDVDRW CH08LS10'
Revision : '1.00'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R/CD-RW driver (mmc_cdr).
Driver flags : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE
Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R96R

Second drive:
===
wodim -checkdrive dev=/dev/sr1
Device type : Removable CD-ROM
Version : 5
Response Format: 2
Capabilities :
Vendor_info : 'SONY '
Identification : 'DVD RW DRU-500A '
Revision : '2.1a'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc2 DVD-R/DVD-RW.
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc CD-R/CD-RW driver (mmc_cdr).
Driver flags : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE
Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96R RAW/R96R

Physically, the 'HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CH08LS10' is attached to a S-ATA port, the 'SONY DVD RW DRU-500A' is connected to the P-ATA interface and configured as Primary Master.

Let's continue with the symptoms:
===
- Start burning a data CD (tested different media - same media works under other OSes as described above)
- Wodim (GUI K3B) and Nero exit as soon as they start to write data to the discs, both in simulation and in real mode. In 'real' mode, the disc's name gets burned, but besides that it became a coaster... So I only try the simulation mode...

Any suggestions? I also attached the error log of wodim and Nero (with one and the same media)...

Thanks and regards, Sebastian
