Recently, I got a new DVD-rom (IDE).

When I burn a new data CD with cdrecord, it has trouble mounting
on the dvd rom (though on another machine with my old cdrom, there is
no trouble).

When I put it in my dvdrom it just pops it back out, and after much
repeated reinsertion it finally takes it and I can mount it.

I burned the cd with a yamaha scsi cdrw drive.  When I put it in the
scsi cdrw drive, it sometimes won't mount, but if I repeatedly eject,
reinsert and try to mount eventually it will (this failure is less common
that the dvdrom failure -- usually, after a couple repeats it works).

The only variable I can think which really is different is I recently
started using sony cdr's instead of memorex cdr's. Could this me a
quality problem?

Has anyone run into this sort of problem?  What was the cause?  Could
it be the blanks?  Are DVD-roms just extra finicky???

I'd really like to get to the bottom of this.  I'm trying to make a
boot CD for my box and if I can't get the dvd to reliably see it, it
won't be any good.
