DVD writers under RH9

Hi All,

 

I have purchased an internal Samsung DVD burner (Model TS-H552U) which I am
trying to install on a RH9 system.  The drive is detected correctly on
startup as well as by 'cdrecord -scanbus'.  The problem I now have is
getting the thing to write.  I have been doing some research and it appears
that the default dvdrecord tool including with RH is not up to the job.  I
have installed 'dvd+rw-tools' and have been trying to use 'growisofs' to
write to the DVD.  I have already created an iso and have been trying to
burn it using 'growisofs -Z /dev/scd0=test.iso'.  Every time I try it I get
a write failed: input/output error.  

 

I have tried tracking down the issue on the internet, but most of it refers
to users of 2.6 kernel.  I am not ever sure if kernel 2.4.20-30 even
supports these tools (although I assume it does since I installed them using
a RH9 compiled rpm).

 

I would be interested to hear whether anyone else has encountered similar
problems.

 

Regards, Ben
