Thanks, I'll get myself onto that list...

With this array of modules:
sg                     34112  0 
sr_mod                 17700  0 
ide_scsi               15556  0 
scsi_mod              126952  3 sg,sr_mod,ide_scsi
ide_cd                 40004  0 

Where ide_cd was told to ignore hdc (inspired from the dvd+rw-tools 
web), I got this:

Not sure what it says, but I see one sesssion there. I guess that's 
from my previos burn attempt. I seemed to be successful with:

tippex root # dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/sr0
* DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <[email protected]>, version 4.10.
* 4.7GB DVD-RW media in Sequential mode detected.
* blanking |

No errors reported! Now I get:

... which seems consistent with expectations. Now another try with 
the burner:
tippex root # growisofs -Z /dev/sr0 -R -J /tmp/quilt-0.32/

Yep. I get the feeling my media and the drive as-is don't like each
other. What are the chances that the device is faulty but i can still 
blank the media (btw where can I read up on blanking vs. formating?)

Starting to seem like a wise choice...
