So it's hard to find out what the problem is. I remember that I had some problems in the past after updating the kernel but I did not recompile cdrtools or dvd+rw-tools which caused all the atapi commands to strangely fail when trying to burn a DVD. VirtualBox also uses that tools so I'd recommend that you just rebuild those two and check if it helps. -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/
