[Debburn-devel] LG CH08LS10 not burning CDs

[surfed]

I just want to say that I have a dvd drive from the same vendor  HL-DT-ST
and I experience the same problem , burning fails with very similar error.
This is an LG drive and googling the issue the problem seems to be wide
spread. I have come to the conclusion that these drives received an firmware
update for win7 compatibility but it made them useless in linux. In my case
the drive also works in windows but not in linux, swapping the drive to a
sony and voila i can burn in linux. I believe it has something to to with
burnfree and dma access? I can burn DVDs but only at "0.3x" so it takes a
bit longer than forever :) but cd's fail.
