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. -Ross PS FreeBSD-4.2, cdrecord 1.9 -=- MIME -=- This is a MIME-encapsulated message. --5E75937B401.992743402/hub.freebsd.org Content-Description: Notification Content-Type: text/plain This is the Postfix program at host hub.freebsd.org.
