Hello all, I'm having a problem burning CDs. I ruined 3 cds (yeah, now I know '-dummy' :-/ and after checking dmesg, I see lots of these messages (or similar) ATAPI device hda: Error: Illegal request -- (Sense key=0x05) Invalid field in parameter list -- (asc=0x26, ascq=0x00) The failed "Mode Select 10" packet command was: "55 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 3c 00 00 00 " hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: packet command error: error=0x50 hda: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: packet command error: error=0x50 This is kernel 2.4.20 (actually gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r1 with ptrace patch.) I'm using glibc 2.3.2, cdrecord 2.0, xcdroast 0.98_alpha13. I'm not using ide-scsi. hda: SAMSUNG CD-R/RW DRIVE SW-208F, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdb: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-114 0124, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALLP AS20.5, ATA DISK drive hdd: ST330630A, ATA DISK drive (full dmesg is attached.) I know this drive works because I burned lots of CDs with it under Linux. The only thing I've changed is glibc (from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2) but I find it hard to believe it'd be the culprit; correct me if I'm wrong. Someone suggested me to try a new ide cable, but it didn't make any difference. Thanks in advance for any help, Norberto
