I am unsure if this is a problem with k3b or the firewire modules. I have therefore loaded the sbp2
module with the following options as recommended at the Linux IEEE 1394 site-
1: modprobe ohci1394
2: modprobe sbp2 serialize_io=1 max_speed=0
3: modprobe sg
4: modprobe sr_mod

The device works reliably with no problems under windows.

You say that it ill record DVDs to this drive correctly, but not CDs?

Any chance you can provide output for when it works as well ?

I am now using the device as a USB2 peripheral with no problems.

I suspect, but cannot confirm that there may be a hardware problem with the
firewire card or with the firewire module.

I have similar issues with my HP dvd740 external USB burner: I can burn DVDs without any problem, but burning CDs fails catastrophically, usually during the fixating phase. Since I'm using a USB hub, I can see that the node is being turned off by the kernel and I have to power cycle the burner before it's recognized as a device again.

I suspect that this may not be a firewire issue, but a cdrecord / kernel 2.6.8 issue. Running as suid root is no longer sufficient--you have to be logged in as root (not su'd root) to send any SCSI commands that aren't whitelisted in the kernel. (I apologize for any inaccuracies here--but the Schilling-Linux feud is long standing and I don't have time to google through all the garbage posted on this subject to ensure I'm making a more accurate statement.)
