I'm trying to burn CD's using a relatively old CD of mine. A LG 8x. It works good under Windows but I cannot get it to work under Linux.
I also have an LG DVD Player set as /cdrom and my burner set as /cdrom1
When I burn something, the lights "in use" of the burner starts, but after a while, it crashes all the computer and the burning fails. The weird is... I could erase an CD RW without any problems, but I cannot burn it. I've tried cdrecord and gnometoaster.
What should I do? it's my first try to burn CD's with Linux :S
if you have tried cdrecord, does it give you any error output?
did you enable your burner as scsi?
what is the output when you type:
cdrecord -scanbus

Thanks for the reply my friend. I've tried CDRecord and there's no apparent error message at the shell . It simply crashes.
The same thing happens if I insert a CD with media into my CD-r Driver. It tries to mount the device and crashes after a while the hole system. Perhaps I will have to keep burning with Nero and Win2k . The odd is that I did not have those problems with Mandrake . I've not tried Redhat 7.3 in this machine so I can't tell it. When I type cdrecord -scanbus I get:
