I am running a NEC-2500A DVD on RH9.0 2.4.20-8smp

I am trying to run using growisofs

Here is the printout of the system log:

Jun 22 00:05:26 localhost kernel: hdh: status error: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
Jun 22 00:05:26 localhost kernel: hdh: status error: error=0x04

Here is my first coaster

growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -V 2004.01.24 -dvd-video -overburn ./
Executing 'mkisofs -V 2004.01.24 -dvd-video ./ | builtin_dd of=/dev/scd0 obs=32k seek=0'

Googling around does not find the above error

He is the example of my second coaster. it appears the burn just dies off

Here is the try after I have created the image with mkisofs and then burn the image with growisofs

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

OH yes. almost forgot to mention, the pieces that were burned are viewable in a standalone DVD player. they are just incomplete. I was also burning these as the user who created the file and not as root

Maybe it's the old game seen with the first cdburners:
It's only reliable if Manufacturer Drive == Manufacturer Blank DVD.
(So my Sony DVD+-RW writer will work with Sony DVD+RW discs only)

I used the command string below to burn a good disk, used the up arrow feature of the CLI and reran the command only to have another coaster. Any further ideas?

one difference between the two is the first disk did not automount. The second one did. I will disable the autofs and try again

diabling autofs seems to have done the trick

I hope this help others.
