Bug Description
Hi im new at linux but i'm trying to do my best with the best system there is ;) ...
I had a problem burning DVDs it kept on giving me an error it didnt want to burn anything then i try to lower the speed of the burning process wich by default is "maximun speed possible" always. I changed the burning speed to to 2x and it started working again ... I really dont know why cause i dont know how to use linux very well but it seems the problems is that there is a conflict with the decision on speed when is left to system to decide by itself ...
well those are my two cents i hope if someone reads this knows how to fix the bug

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner
Burning cd's and dvd's is currently not working in hardy for me, while it worked perfectly on gutsy. I tried both nautilus-cd-burner and brasero. When I use n-c-b it finishes very quickly, but it seems only the file/directory strucure is written to disc, but none of the actual data. I think (but I am not completely sure) that this started around the time of the GVFS updates several weeks ago.

I first tried starting n-c-b from the command-line, that doesn't work because it says no files selected. I then runned nautilus from the command line and went to burn:/// to write a disc. I get this error again:
Error writing to disc
There was an error writing to the disc:
Unhandled error, aborting
There is no output displayed at the command line. Is it written to a log file somewhere? I couldn't find it.

Ah, it works when you first use burn:/// to compile the cd and then start n-c-b from the command line (that cost me another dvd to find out :-( ). I get the following output:

Hi Wouter,
If you aren't already doing so, care to test with the latest 2.6.24-12 kernel. Then assuming the issue still exists, per the kernel team's bug policy, can you please attach the following information. Please be sure to attach each file as a separate attachment.
* cat /proc/version_
* dmesg > dmesg.log
* sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log

At this point you will just have to trust me that this file is present. The command worked fine under Ubuntu 7.10 , but fails under 8.04. I can still boot into my Debian partition to make the dvd with that command.

I have had the same problem. It had something to do with the wron UDMA mode for the DVD writer. Which has something to do with sata drivers taking over all ide en sata devices in Hardy.
All the problems I was having I wrote in the following tread:
http://
The solution for me was to edit the boot grub and ad the following to the end of the kernel line:
all_generic_ide
Like this:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-
After a reboot this fixed everything for me.
I am still very interested to find out what exactly the is with the drivers, so If somebody knows please let me know.

I have been experiencing same or similar problems since the last patch to growisofs was released (both Hardy and Gutsy):
https:/
Prior the last set of patches I installed on May 1 using growsifs via k3b would still burn a iso but the resulting DVD was not consistently recognized by all applications (handbrake avidemux). Disks burned previous to the date of the growisofs patch are fully compliant.
Post the May 1st Patch installation DVDs burned from growisfs (via k3b) fail during burning, or are destroyed without reporting an error.

all_generic_ide worked for me and I think I know why. It is DMA/66 80 pin tape issue. Without all_generic_ide option, on my PC, kernel uses pata_via driver. My recorder can work in UDMA/66 mode and pata_via driver sets this mode for it. But my dvdrecorder is connected to mainbord by old 40 pin tape and it leads to transmission errors between mainboard and recorder. all_generic_ide kernel option turns on ata_generic driver and this driver set UDMA/33 mode for recoder which is best possible one because of tape limitation. I suspect that it is possible to discover tape kind (40 or 80 pin) on driver level and ata_generic driver makes it better then pata_via driver.
This is part of dmesg log without all_generic_ide kernel option:

This still an issue.
I have spent weeks trying to burn a data DVD on Hardy. I have read every post possible. Every thread doesn't seem to come to a solution. I have an LG GSA-4040B DVD burner. I was half way through a spindle of Sony DVD and upgraded to Hardy from Gutsy.
- Did a fresh install of Hardy
- Update the firmware on the DVD drive
- Tried multiple brands of blank media
- Changed my IDE cable to the DVD drive from 40 pin to 80 pin.
- Set the drive to master/slave
- Tried the latest version of dvd+rw tools
- Tried mutliple dvd burning tools. Brasero, Nautilus, K3B, command line... All fail at burning a data DVD.
- Tried multiple kernel options, like "combined_
- Tried enabling burnproof in nautilus.
- Tried burning at multiple speeds
So, with trying all this, I was left with a new set of multi colored coasters... A set of about 20.
However, I finally came to a solution last night. I reinstalled Gutsy, 7.10. After the install was complete, lone behold, I successfully burned a data DVD.
I have attached the K3B log.
Cheers

This DVD burning issue should perhaps have higher importance status? Since upgrading to Hardy I encountered way more issues with burned DVDs but most of them still seemed to work at least with some DVD drive. In Windows XP, all of the DVDs burned with Hardy are totally unregognizable while all those burned with Gutsy work fine. If other users also have DVDs, which seem to work in Linux or in some old DVD player, they might not notice that the burns are still not valid.
This looks like a kernel or driver bug (I'm using x86_64 kernel with Athlon 64 CPU. It is not related to certain drive or media type. I'm using two very different decent quality burners and I've tried with both high quality DVD+R and DVD-R media and all combinations of those have quite identical issues (read error in the very same sector). I tested DVD recognition also with two very different Windows computers.
Burning with 2x speed is not a solution. It isn't even acceptable workaround for me as I'm used to burning with at least 16x speed. Please investigate if the issue concerns more HW than you assumed and consider raising the importance status of this bug.
Thanks

This problem is resolved for me. I'm not entirely sure how it came about but it is reminiscent of the old SCSI representation issues I used to see in Debian. After a set of updates the device (previously at /dev/hdb ) failed entirely when trying to burn DVD or CD material. But when I put in a video DVD I noticed that the device now comes up as /dev/scd0 . I re-targeted my scripts to /dev/scd0 and everything works fine.
It used to be the case that you had to have SCSI emulation on a CD burner for cdrecord to work with it. This required a boot option in the lilo.conf like:
append=
As of the 2.6 kernel this was no longer entirely necessary to burn a CD, but often cdrecord would still give you trouble unless you did the scsi emulation.
What's odd to me here is that I have no scsi emulation in my boot options, the ide-scsi module is not loaded, whereas the scsi_mod is, and this device, which I'm certain is hooked up to an IDE cable is showing up as /dev/scd0 . I personally made no changes, just did the updates and rebooted when the update manager said I needed to.
I'm pleased that the issue is resolved, but I'm a little disturbed that Linux, which I thought I understood well, has now become slightly more occult. I have an ide device showing up as scd0 and really no idea how it got that way.
I haven't looked at it under Debian, but I believe the device is still /dev/hdb under that system.

Note that after mucking with the system, the dvd mounted as /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/cdrom1 and then I was able to burn dvd rws. I noted what I think I did (basically I tried rollbacks) under bug #199040, but currently it mounts as cdrom1 and fails.
I wonder if burning dvd's is low priority?

A little history.
This system was running Gutsy
I backed up /home on Gutsy by burning to DVD on this system
reformatted installed Hardy from cdrom with the DVD drive
currently in the system. After a fresh install of Hardy the problems
began.
What I am experiencing on 5 PCs 2 laptops is this.
Data CDs and music CDs work fine.
Data DVDs or movie DVDs or blank DVDs do not

The compatibility issue with Windows XP (my comment 2008-05-30) seems to be related to DVD authoring, not to burning. I use dvdauthor and growisofs to burn DVDs and they seem to produce Windows XP incompatible DVDs since upgrade to Hardy. I tried making an ISO image using mkisofs and then burned it using Gutsy kernel and again using Windows XP. The result was a DVD, which isn't recognized as DVD in Windows XP and therefore cannot be played using Windows Media Player. Even if DVD burning seems to work better now in Hardy (kernel 2.6.24-19), I find it unuseful while the results have major compatibility issue.

I mean, I am pretty sure there is a lot important bugs related to security issues and so on, but I can not burn any CD or DVD since I am on Hardy. It is very very difficult for me not being able to make backups or burn important CDs as rescue CD or ubuntu LiveCD.
I do not know how if the "importance" changes how the bug report is considered and treated, and I am sure you are doing as fast as you can, but maybe you could reconsider the importance of this bug.
Thanks a lot.

changing the settings will not really make the bug fixed faster, there is thousand of bugs opened and a very small team to work on those, the issue might be an annoying one but it's not a security bug nor destroy user datas and seems to be specific to some hardware, it might be annoying to you who have one of those though but that doesn't make the bug a priority for the distribution

The reason why its LOW is because being able to burn optical media or read DVDs, or restore your backups
from a DVD in Ubuntu is NOT a priority. This is why this problem has existed for several months now and is still set to low. If you want to burn CDs and DVDs and restore your Backup from Data DVDs them maybe Ubuntu is not for you. Get a Mac or maybe even Windows Vista Basic. Maybe you may have better luck with a floppy drive if you must use removable media and Ubuntu Hardy on the same computer.

Hi,
Excuse me but I do not understand what happens to you. After my message, Sebastien gave my a reply :
"changing the settings will not really make the bug fixed faster, there is thousand of bugs opened and a very small team to work on those, the issue might be an annoying one but it's not a security bug nor destroy user datas and seems to be specific to some hardware, it might be annoying to you who have one of those though but that doesn't make the bug a priority for the distribution"
I completely understand what he says and I didn't mean that MY problem was a priority. I completely agree that there is a lot of bugs and I can imagine that it is a lot of work for a small team of volunteers. I know that and I thank them very very well.
Andry, I can not believe you think what you have written :
"If you want to burn CDs and DVDs and restore your Backup from Data DVDs them maybe Ubuntu is not for you. Get a Mac or maybe even Windows Vista Basic. Maybe you may have better luck with a floppy drive if you must use removable media and Ubuntu Hardy on the same computer."
Are you saying that Ubuntu is and should be limited to old media ? Do you really think Ubuntu is not for me because I make backups on CDs and DVDs ? What you have written is so strange !
Finally, Sebastien, who is your last message intended for ?
"could you stay correct when commenting on the bug? the people you are talking to are mostly volunteer doing work for free and who have a lot to do, the fact hardy has issues on your hardware doesn't mean it has issue for everybody and that nobody is going to work on those"
Because if it is to me, I do not understand why you have waited 10 hours to write this. I think I have been correct and polite in my first message: I said "Hi", "could", "thanks a lot". But it is true I have forgotten a "please", I am sorry if it is the problem.
I repeat once again and for the last time (because I think it is not the right place to argue) : I know there is a lot of work, I have always respected people who fix the bugs, I am not complaining about a lake of work or a delay. I just wanted to remind this bug may be more embarrassing for some people (compared to others who have just problems of compatibility with windows XP or who can write at low speed).
I am very very sorry that my message have been misunderstood. I hope you are more open and nicer than you seem (I completely agree with the Sebastien's first message but I am shocked by the following ones).
Best regards to all.
Arnaud

Arnaud. I was responding to your message about the priorty being low out of frustration that this problem has been reported before Hardy was released. Yet it is released in a state where basic things like even reading a DVD very rarely works on pata devices. I don't blame the developers or the volunteers for this I blame Canonical. No one can expect the volunteers to have every piece of hardware known to man available to them at their own expense. What one can expect though is for Canonical to do due dilegence and quality control on LTS releases and provide the volunteers with everything they need to test new LTS releases before they are released with such prevalent bugs. Bugs that turn up on 6 of 9 computers that i have here. And this DVD situation is only one of the High visibitly show stopping bugs in Hardy LTS. I appreciate everything Sebastien and Martin does to try and get these bugs fixed. They are working very hard for free and on their own time and I think Canonical should help them. Just my opinion. Sebastian, my apologies for being sarcastic in the earlier post. I was just frustrated with banging my head over this problem for over 3 months and I cannot deliver systems to end users in this condition.

@ Both of you. I have just understood the real meaning of your two messages. I was not concerned in any of them in fact. Now, when I read them, I do not understand why I have not grasped their meaning from the beginning. Maybe because I could not expect sarcasm from you Andry, I though you was a bug fixer.
I am very sorry for my message because all the people concerned by this bug have received at least 4 mails that do not help the bug to be fixed.

Do you do anything special to your configuration or have similar hardware on all those computer? That's odd that you get the issue on so many configuration where almost nobody else has a similar issue. Note that canonical doesn't charge you any money so there is no reason it should prioritize your issue either

all of 6 the ones having DVD issues are older AMD based systems. 2 are laptops. All have Via chipset. The 3 systems that have Hardy on them
that are *not* having this problem are newer AMD based sata desktops. 1 has ATI chipset and others have Nvidia. They all had Windows XP and I formatted
and install Hardy for each customer. . All fresh install no upgrades. All the systems were installed with Hardy CD-ROM with the DVD drives
that are in them. The hardy install on all these systems are default unmodified

I am not sure if my problem is exactly as the one of that bug, but I am unable to burn CD/DVD media on 3 different machines I have tried with Gutsy on 2 and Hardy on one. I have reported Bug #202736 but it got no attention as of yet. I do not want to be rude or impolite but it seems that the bazaar system fails sometimes, unfortunately. If it is popular at the moment to have 3D interface then a lot of effort is put there since everybody works at it anyways more people join. However, when a fresh user installs ubuntu and is unable to use CD?DVD burner it will create a much worse impression than the absence of 3D interface. But we have what we have: when people work on what they are the most interested in they get much better code produced. Although, it seems that usability issues should have some kind of priority level that at least registers on radars of developers. Again, I did not want to be rude or pushy. Good luck and keep up good development.

I am having the same trouble on my HP 6510b laptop with an HP DVD 840 USB burner. The internal drive gives the same error, but I am not completely sure it is actually a DVD burner. =) Know issues previously burning DVDs, but I can't say for sure when I last tried it.
regarding pliz post: My parents machine started giving him these "exception Emask" errors. I just bought them a new Dell Inspiron 530, shipped with Gutsy. After putting in a second hard drive, installing Gutsy from the CD that came with it, upgrading to Hardy with the update manager, and installing all the updates, it started having trouble booting, giving errors like those found on this forum post: http://
I wonder if these issues are not related? It looks like a kernel issue to my ignorant eyes. From this post, it looks like there is a pretty wide set of hardware that is effected by this. I wonder if more people don't have the same problem and are just unaware because, like me, they just don't burn anything very often.
I too would think this issue should have a higher priority by now, but that is just arguing semantics with which I am familiar: let's leave that decision to the contributor's. Remember, this is an LTS release, so it will get done, just be patient and/or find another way to burn for now (roll back, duel boot, burn on another machine, etc.). Keep the info coming, but save the gripping for some other venue, eh? I did get a giggle out of Andy's post sarcasm, but as he now knows, it was not fair and just caused confusion. This is a community effort and we all need to try to be constructive and supportive if we want things to improve.

Hey I tried rollbacks earlier, (bug #199040),but they didn't consistently work.
After a few reboots it stopped working. When it worked, a dvd would
mount as /dev/cdrom instead of /dev/cdrom.
Also the roll backs did not work on my 64bit laptop.

I ended up with the following solution on one of my PCs:
install Feisty (7.04) in parallel with Hardy (dualboot) and use Feisty for burning CD/DVD.
As I've noted previously Gutsy does not work for me either. When I get some time I'll try compiling the kernel from Festy on Hardy and see if that helps.

I cannot believe that this problem is six months old and it seems that its not important. I guess burning CDs and reading DVDs is simply not a priority. They say this problem doesn't affect much people so no need to prioritize this problem. They are about to release Intrepid with this same problem. That just goes to show how low priority this is. What is not funny is that in about 40% of the 400+ computers that I have installed Ubuntu Hardy on I see this problem. Those 40% of the 400+ computers I have reloaded with PCLinuxOS and the problem disappears. This is a HUGE problem and it seems some people don't grasp the magnitude of this issue. 6 Months no solution to a show stopping problem that affects about 40% of PC with Ubuntu Hardy installed. Its really sad really. This problem and the failure of Canonical to see the importance of it and to fix it for 6 whole months has put a bad taste in my mouth and the mouth of over 200 of my customers that run Ubuntu. Sorry to have to say it but the truth hurts.
I have setup a brand new DELL Precision T5400. Fresh install of Hardy I insert a blank CD i get nothing. No
warning. Nothing in dmesg no error. I go to computer in gnome and click on the drive and I get "UNABLE TO MOUNT LOCATION" "NO MEDIA IN THE DRIVE"
This is a BRAND NEW Dell workstation with sata.
In its current state Hardy is not worthy of being called and LTS let alone ready for the office if u cant even burn a CD /DVD. very sad indeed.

The reason why there are so many duplicates is because this issue is not just related to burning.
Here is a simple run down.
In some configurations :-
Hardy 8.04 LTS will
1) Fail to recognize any DVDs DVD-r etc. and will only read CD-Roms no burning on either CD or DVD
or
2) Fail to recongize only CD-ROMs and Burn to CD-ROMs only. Not DVDs.
or
3) Fail to recognize DVDs but no blanks
or
4) fail to recognize DVD media burned in Gutsy. Yet WinXP sees the DVD and all previous versions of Ubuntu
sees the DVD
In all these cases it does not work in gnome/nautilus nor does it work mounting manually on the command line.
it simply fails to see the media "no media in drive" and nothing no errors in syslog or dmesg.

I can understand Andy's frustration. I went through the same aggravation several months back. This is the main reason I'm still using Gutsy. I can also understand Sebastien's point that there are limited resources and a ton of bugs to be fixed. All of the developers work goes much appreciated.
But... Realistically, optical media drives have been around for over a decade, maybe closer to two. I think the most disappointing thing is the priority level of this bug/bugs. I find it hard to believe that there are over ten thousand more 'important' issues than this. I would consider this issue the same priority if a bunch of video cards, hard drives, key boards or another major devices just stopped working on a LTS release.
What's the point of having a nice office suite if you can't back your work up on a CD? What's the sense of having firewire card support to import home video if you can't put it on a DVD? What's the point of importing photos from your camera if you can't put them on a CD to send to family in the next time zone? What's the point of pirating movies off the internet if you can't put them on them on a DVD? (Ok, the last one was a joke, but you see my point).
I definitely think this issue should not have a low/none-existent priority. I would like to upgrade from Gutsy as some point. On the other hand, I guess there's lots of other distros out there.
My 2 cents.

Yes, the issues is definitely with priority, not man power.
Sebastian,
Please reconsider based on Andy's last two responses. If the concern is that there are too many duplicates, then they should be combined in to one bug report and surely that priority should be higher. There is some small difference between the packages in 7.10 and 8.04, somewhere between dvd+rw-tools and the kernel, that caused all this to break. Speaking as a developer myself, that is a pretty good starting point for fixing a bug. While it is well out side my knowledge domain, from the outside, it looks like a quick fix for some one who knows the system and process. At the risk of repeating others, I think the trick is just get it right people with an appropriate priority. Andy's reference to numbers are certainly relevant to selecting an appropriate priority.
On an etiquette note, while some of the posts have a tone of less that patient, I don't feel that "maybe you should consider contributing" is an appropriate response to the legitimate argument that has been made for an upgrade to the priority here. I'm sure you just meant "contributing code" specifically and that you understand that we are all contributing here, in this report, and I expect that most of us contribute in many ways beyond this. For example, Andy may be paid to manage 400+ machines, but that is still a significant contribution to the cause. You may be contributing more often and perhaps in a more meaningful way to this project, but it is not appropriate to assume that others are not doing the same or more elsewhere. Again, I'm sure you didn't mean it that way and meant well, but that wording can easily be taken the wrong way.
Anyway, I greatly appreciate your efforts as I have seen you working on many bugs. I am sure every one here feels the same. Please keep up the good work and please keep working with us to better understand the issue. Perhaps a link to the official definition of the priorities would be useful in that effort?
Andy,
Given your situation, perhaps a support contract would be a wise thing to consider as Sebastian suggested. I sure would not complain if you paid them to fix this problem for me. ;p Seriously though, I'm not sure how that works, but I would not pay a dime if they would not commit to fixing the issue. If they would take payment to increase this priority, I think that is a reasonable thing for both them and you to pursue given their business model and your needs. Alternately, just keep running 7.10 until this bug gets fixed. I hear you loud and clear on the LTS and "it worked fine before" points, and I agree whole heartedly. However, we must all do what we can with what we have. That's not to say we should give up the effort on this bug. Since we have this forum, that's one of the things we can do. =)

We all appreciate the work of Sebastien and Martin and all the others that oil in swamps with the bugs. Believe me if I knew how to code I would have fixed this and the other highly visible nuances in this LTS release. I also appreciate the words of the noble Alan J. I will pay right now to have this fixed right now. I am not sure if getting a support contract will fix this problem. 10000 bugs are a lot and I remember when MS was getting chastised and ridiculed for releasing Windows2K with 10000 bugs. I think they are just flooded in a torrent of bugs and not enough manpower and the 6mnth release cycle adds even more pressure to the mix. I think Mark will have to come up with a solution to this 10000 bug situation. I know none of us blames Sebastien or Martin or any one else that have been working on many bugs not just this one. I Think Canonical needs to start focusing more on quality control hire more devs to fix these 10000 bugs. I just can't understand why this is low priority for 6 months now.

Hi Everyone,
I realize everyone is experiencing issues on Hardy, but Marcel had posted something interesting:
https:/
"I had some burning problems in 8.04. Since I'm testing 8.10 alpha6, I never had any problems."
I'm curious if anyone else has been able to test the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. The Beta version of Intrepid was most recently released - http://
The main reason for testing Intrepid would be so that we know if 1) The bug is resolved and we can try to narrow down a fix to backport to Hardy or 2) The issue still exists for Intrepid in which case we should provide the developers the most uptodate debugging information. Thanks.

Hi,
I had Edgy, and I think I did two upgrades in a row to upgrade to
Hardy on my laptop. I basically don't burn cd/dvds there.
On my laptop, where I do burn dvd's/cd. I noticed the problem
immediately after upgrading to Hardy from Feisty. It is only after I
noticed the problem on my desktop that I tried the laptop where the
problem also existed.
I guess Intrepid the new one (still beta)?
Now with two Hardy systems, I cannot burn dvds or cdroms from the command line.

Not to jump in on this, since it doesn't much matter anymore... But I
had a problem with my DVD burner as well. The cause was the mountpoint
and a config file that was left over from the earlier version. All that
it took to fix it was to delete /etc/udev/
and reboot... Well actually I moved the file to my home directory just
in case I needed it... Seems this was causing the problem. It gets
regenerated on reboot.
So if you're having problems this might be worth a shot... Some bugs
come from changes between versions with old config files laying around.
Joel.

I have a similar and probably related problem so I will describe it here and not create another bug in the hope it will help the devs pinpoint the causes.
I recently upgraded a server from dapper to hardy after which my DVD-R burning archive script starting failing.
The script for dapper ran overnight, used mkisofs and worked a treat. The script was designed for non-computer people - they would periodically put a blank DVD-R in the drive in the evening. The return code from mkisofs was detected by the script. If the mkisofs run succeeded (that is, a blank disk had been inserted the previous evening), the script ejected it ready to be removed and filed the next day. If it failed, the script presumed it was because no media had been loaded and failed quietly.
The script needed to be changed for hardy - mkisofs was replaced by growisofs. I overcame bug 233942 by replacing genisoimage 1.1.6-1ubuntu6 with genisoimage 1.1.6-1ubuntu3. However, there are clearly still some other problems with DVD burning on hardy. Here are some of the symptoms I see:
1. The growisofs/
http://
2. growisofs always seems to return zero.
3.. If I run the archive script manually after loading a blank DVD-R, it creates a legitimate burned disk which I can read successfully if removed from the drive at that point.
4. If the script is run via cron overnight, I believe the disk is OK just as the result from 2. above is. Here are the key parts of the log which is emailed to me:

Leann Ogasawara,
Can you first explain why you think this will work, or perhaps you

the software package dvd+rw-tools, likely after an upgrade, as opposed
to a clean install.

However that was from a 2.6.24 kernel. Intrepid, currently contains a much newer 2.6.27 kernel. So I'd be curious to see what the dmesg output is after you attempt to burn a DVD using the 2.6.27 kernel. Additionally, it would be great if you could post the exact commands you use to burn the DVD. You may be right that this is an issue with dvd+rw-tools for you. But I'd like to at least eliminate it possibly being a kernel issue. If you do feel it is an issue with dvd+rw-tools, it would be helpful to the dvd+rw-tools developers if you at least test the lastest version of dvd+rw-tools available in Intrepid. You also mentioned earlier that when you rolled back to an older version of dvd+rw-tools available you were able to burn DVD's? It would be good to specifically note the exact version of the package that worked and the current version that doesn't.
I unfortunately think that even though everyone may be experiencing the same symptom here, the root cause may be different bugs. Regardless, it would be great if those still experiencing issues with the most recent Intrepid release could provide appropriate debug logs and information. That includes package version information, steps to reproduce, debug output, dmesg output, etc. We can then at least focus on opening separate bug reports if necessary etc. Thanks.

After a while I cannot use any CD o DVD media - they just not register anymore, although I can play DVD when just booted. My dmesg is flooded with messages of the above kind.
However, if I boot from USB (into intrepid, which is also on the hdd) then I never see this kind of messages.
I have 1 SATA disk and 1 ATA disk on a dedicated connection. I have a DVD reader and writer on the same connection.
So now I cannot even start testing CD/DVD burning since even reading does not work. Any ideas?

I have posted this into Bug#231575.Sorry for reposting it here, but it may be helpful for someone.
it looks like I found a solution. I did the following:
1. downloaded .config for the latest debian kernel (I guess 2.6.26)
2. downloaded the latest kernel (2.7.27.7) from kernel.org
3. compiled it the usual debian/
4. bootted into the custom kernel.
Yesterday I have tested my system for 3-4 hours burning disks, doing cat
./* > /dev/null on several CDs and DVD disks for some manytimes just to
make sure.
I have not seen a single message of the kind reported above. It is close
to 24hours of constant work without these problems. Although I keep my
fingers crossed. If the solution is really working is there a way to
keep a standard debian kernel in my ubuntu sources. I just want all the
security patches and the stability of debian kernel :-)
May be that is a hint to ubuntu kernel team to check what they have
tweaked wrong?

Sorry about the long time without any response. I would like to get a picture about how this issue stand in
a) Hardy and
b) Jaunty
Is this still an issue with the latest kernels of both series (please consider to test Hardy-proposed as well if the current Hardy kernel in updates shows problems)?
Unfortunately there also seem to be several issues mixed into this. From possible application issues to kernel problems. Most of them sound as being problems with libata. So as stated by some reporters for Hardy "all_generic_ide" might be a solution. Since Intrepid there is a little more control over libata through libata.force, eg. to force 40cable conntections for decive ata1 one would specify "libata.

I am closing this as won't fix for now. There have been no usable comments for a long time. Also there have been so many issues mixed that it is near impossible to work with this report. If there are still issues like this I would propose to open a new one and try to keep different hardware separate.

So what should I do? I am still seeing the bug even in Karmic. My solution of taking .config from a stock Debian kernel and getting ubuntu kernel sources and recompiling with this configuration still works. If you tell me a step by step guide of providing you complete info needed o track the bug I am willing to do it. But it is same old thing: dmesg log full of

I do not see the bug on my system.
Karmic 64 bit. I do use kernel.org kernels.

Yup! My point exactly: (1) ubuntu stock kernel bug, (2) custom kernels do not have it (3) it has been like that for ~2 years.
Custom kernels are not such a good idea: (1) effort to recompile each time kernel updates (a strong gentooish aftertaste), (2) lack of timely security updates.
Thanks for the effort.

Understood. The problem with this report was (iirc) that it
was sort of old and had a lot of different things mixed.
If you could just open a new bug with "ubuntu-bug linux",
then say in the description that the same (preferably Karmic)
kernel sources with just different configs show the problem
or not. Attach the config you used and subscribe me to that
bug. That would give a clean start.
Also with that kind of problems, it helps a lot to have a
detailed description of the physical layout of the drives on
the ata controller. How many drives on which port/controller.
Are they specially jumpered, how?
We had one case where a cdrom was jumpered slave, being the
only drive on one controller and the problem was solved just
by setting it to master.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you run gconf-editor, enable the apps, nautilus-cd-burner, debug key, starts nautilus on a command line and copy there the log when trying to burn something?
