[Dvdrtools-users] burning woes

[Atish Nazir]

Hellow!
        Just tried burning my first DVD on my new shiney Linux box and much to
my
disappointment it didn't work with either dvdrecord or cdrecord-prodvd. 
Rather worryingly when I cranked up the debug verbosity the SCSI
transport was complaining about, well here's a pasting:

dvdrecord: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error
CDB:  00 00 00 00 00 00
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
Sense Bytes: 70 00 04 00 00 00 00 0C 00 00 00 00 09 02 00 00
Sense Key: 0x4 Hardware Error, Segment 0
Sense Code: 0x09 Qual 0x02 (focus servo failure) Fru 0x0
Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) 
cmd finished after 0.000s timeout 40s

!!!  It's a brand new drive (2 weeks old) and I have already burnt a few
normal CDs on it under Linux with no problems :o\  Here's a break down
of relevant specs on the machine:

2.4.19 SMP (dual Athlon MP2100, running on a Tyan S2466MPX)
        Generic SCSI support and SCSI CD compiled in

Sony ATAPI DRU-210A
        ide0 slave with data source ide1 master

Here's the output of a query:

Ideas would be most appreciated :o)
Thanks in advance,

PS.
* the ISO image that I made under mkisofs works fine when I mount it via
a loopback...
