Hi,
Excuse me for a long email.

I have a problem with my external USB DVD writer (model SE-S184M/EUBN).
I do not succeed in to burn DVD (only CD). 
The system (FreeBSD eclypse.it 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May  7 04:32:43 UTC 2006     
root@opus.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386) recognizes masterizzatore like:
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cd0: 40.000MB/s transfers 
cd0: Device Attempt to query size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present - tray close


If I use the comand whith a dvd+rw : dvd+rw- format /dev/cd0 
I obtain 

* DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy. chalmers.se>, version 6.0. 
:-( (unable to GET CONFIGURATION: 
Input/output error and on the consul: umass0: 
Unsupported ATAPI command 0x46. 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. I have asked the list "questions" , they advised me to contact the 
cdrecord maintainer (Jorg Schilling) for this problem.
2. He advised to me to upgrade of the program. After an upgrade the
problem persisted.    
3. After He says 

"Can you verify that FreeBSD did not again break the SCSI implementation
and does not do an auto-request Sense?

Please use "scgcheck" to verify the correctness of your SCSI implementation.

Jörg"

My verify is:

It looks like I would need to see whether I could enhance the 
libscg adptation layer for freeBSD/CAM.

But in this case you correctly receive a CHECK CONDITION.

In order to check whether this layer has more problems I would need
to add debug code that s currently missing. 

Please note that the probability that the problem is inside your kernel
is much higher than a problem in libscg. This is because the SCSI status
byte is directly copied from the FreeBSD Kernel.

Did you try to send a bug report to the FreeBSD kernel team?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can you help me with this problem.
How to send this problem to kernel maintainers. 
Thank for your suggestions.
