Thanks for the reply.
Why I tried growisofs? My impression from reading some info on the web was that this is the current tool to do the job.
Anyway I tried cdrecord with exactly the same syntax that you offered, but it didn't work -- I appended the output of the command to the end of this message below. Also I appended the output of '-scanbus' and 'dev=help' options. Finally I appended variations on your proposed command -- all failed with various messages, most of them similar. My appologies if this message becomes too long -- I really cannot read the output of 'cdrecord' and infer what is important and what is not.
What else should I try? or is my device broken?
Thanks in advance, Itay

Hi,
I am trying to burn FC3 dvd using my IBM T41. After some hours reading through the man page, and googling I gave up. Here is what I tried:
[root sam pkg]# growisofs -dry-run -Z /dev/scd0=FC3-i386-DVD.iso :-( unable to open64("/dev/scd0",O_RDONLY): No such device or address
[root sam pkg]# growisofs -dry-run -Z /dev/hdc=FC3-i386-DVD.iso :-[ LOAD TRAY failed with SK=5h/ASC=24h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error
[root sam pkg]# growisofs -dry-run -Z /dev/cdrom=FC3-i386-DVD.iso :-[ LOAD TRAY failed with SK=5h/ASC=24h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error
In the first case the light indicator keeps flashing for at
least few minutes -- I stopped it by removing the medium.
The device can read DVDs burned by others.
How can I fix this?
by using cdrecord - growisofs I have only used to create DVD's
from an existing directory structure. For iso files, use
cdrecord
cdrecord -dev=/dev/cdrom -speed=4 -v -dao -pad FC3-i386-DVD.iso
