Comment 2 for bug 92383

I'm also getting the same error. I'm using Feisty (with all updates as of today). Kernel is 2.6.20-15-generic (2.6.20-15.27).

I doesn't matter what media I use (I've tried CDRW, DVD+RW, DVD-RW and DVD+R) or which application I use to burn (K3B, Brasero or Nautilus) the burn always fails. Sometimes straight away but more often after appearing to write for some time.

The drive itself is not faulty as it worked fine under gentoo a few weeks ago and burns ok now if I use a puppy linux live cd.

Although I've no direct proof I suspect that the new libata changes are the cause of the problem as in both my previous gentoo install and the puppy live cd the old style ide drivers are still used.

From a test burn with a DVD+RW using Brasero:

process (BraseroGrowisofs) stderr: :-[ WRITE@LBA=61c0h failed with SK=7h/ASC=00h/ACQ=01h]: Input/output error
process (BraseroGrowisofs) stderr: :-( write failed: Input/output error

and from dmesg:
