Hi;
have you updated your software since you installed FC2?
There are a lot of updates, this is my system:
[mick@athlon mick]$ rpm -qa cd*
cdecl-2.5-29
cdparanoia-devel-alpha9.8-20.1
cdrdao-1.1.8-3
cdparanoia-alpha9.8-20.1
cdp-0.33-31
cdlabelgen-2.6.1-2
cdrecord-2.01-0.a27.4.FC2.1
cdicconf-0.2-7
cdparanoia-libs-alpha9.8-20.1
cdrecord-ProDVD-2.01a27-1
cdda2wav-2.01-0.a27.4.FC2.1
cdrecord-devel-2.01-0.a27.4.FC2.1
most of my kde is 3.2.2-2
[mick@athlon mick]$ rpm -qa k3b*
k3b-0.11.12-1
note I installed from tar.gz or .bz2 and it is really
k3b-0.11.13
My FC2 system on which I tried the burn was fully updated. Since that
time, I tried again in FC3T1 which has version k3b-0.11.12-2, and was
able to successfully burn the FC2 .iso with no errors, specifying the
speed as 2.4x. The Verbatim medium for that burn supports 1x-4x. The
resulting DVD fails the mediacheck in FC2 anaconda (as does the one I
burned in Windows XP with Roxio CD Creator 6), but it installs FC2 just
fine.
What does "settings - configure k3b - devices" show?
is it correct for your burner?
It does show the listing for my burner. However the line that says
Writes DVD+R(w)s says "no", and that is the media type that I am using
successfully. I wonder how this data is obtained; that line is
obviously in error for this drive. The rest of the listing seems proper.
I have burned FC3-T1.iso just fine.
Are you sure about your hardware setup (master/slave - pri/sec)
I have noticed that some drives come defaulted to cable-select.
/dev/hdd should be a secondary slave and be jumpered as such, using the
middle cable connector (80 pin).
Yes, it came as Master, but the drive I replaced it with was set as
Slave, so I changed it to Slave when I installed it.

Thanks for your reply, Mick.
