I use FC2 kernel 2.6.5-1.358 and cdrecord 2.01.1-0.FC2.1 and cd burning WON'T WORK!! I have /usr/bin/cdrecord set to 4711 and /dev/hdc set to 666 and no luck! the md5sum checks out, and even burning as root doesn't work! I went through 3 CD-Rs and all wasted. My burner has a light that is green when reading, yellow for something else (I think fixating) and red for burning. I have tried command line and k3b. It will "start writing", be red for 1-2 seconds, then switch from yellow to green many times. I try to kill it, but 1. it wont die 2. it won't let me open my cdrom (even with eject, which freezes). Finally, after a minute, it dies and gives me a worthless, dead, partially-written-on cd-r. cdrecord says that it couldn't fixate disk. Could it be cdrecord, permissions, or the kernel itself? Thanks! -Steven
