I see 2 points here: 1) it seems that problem is in /sys/dev/ata/atapi-cd.c code rather then in burncd utility (but I'm not 100%-sure here); 2) burncd still does _all_ things which it's useful for: it really burns CDs, erases and fixates them. It just incorrectly waits for completion of erase/fixate operation. Waiting some extra time after drive finishes the write process and pressing Ctrl+C works around this problem and results in correctly erased/fixed media. It would be unwise to throw away a dirty screwdriver instead of washing it ;) > Scott Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: dmitry@atlantis.dp.ua nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPE
