Hi,
I am running Centos 4 (fully updated on this box).
I removed the old DVD writer (/dev/hdc) and installed a new LG GH20 "Internal Super Multi DVD Rewriter" with a SATA interface - this shows up as /dev/scd0.
When I insert a pre-recorded DVD autorun mounts it and displays the contents without any hassles. It appears to me that the required kernel modules are loaded - as copied below from lsmod output.
sata_nv 18629 0 libata 111261 1 sata_nv sd_mod 17217 0 scsi_mod 125261 3 sr_mod,libata,sd_mod
I am using Verbatim DVD-RDL blanks.
When I try to write a pre-recorded iso to the DVD I get the following error message:
[user@test]$ growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvdwriter=<pre-recorded>.iso :-( /dev/dvdwriter: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 10015
I have tried to do this as root with the same result. /dev/dvdwriter is a link to /dev/scd0 and has full read/write/execute permissions.
Output of growisofs -version:
* growisofs by appro@fy.chalmers.se, version 5.21, front-ending to mkisofs: mkisofs 2.01 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Any suggestions will be welcome - if any further information is required I will do my best to supply it.
I have Googled with the error message but only get reports of this problem and no solutions.
TIA
