Mastering audio CD's under RH9.0 with ATAPI CDRW drive

[Bill Freeman]

	Can anyone point out an error in this incantation?


# cdrecord -v speed=4 -dummy dev=0,0,0 -audio *.wav


	Thats with a 2.4.20-20.9 i686 stock kernel (August 18), booted
with "hdc=ide-scsi" and the recommended fiddling in /etc/modules.conf.
I get the same error using "dev=ATAPI:0,0,0" without fiddling the
module loading, and I get the same result on some older kernels.  The
apparent error is:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

	Clearly, basic communication is working, but just for
completeness, cdrecord -scanbus gives:

	Using the dev=ATAPI hack gives a similar scanbus result.

	I could swear that I've done this in the past on this very
machine (but that may have been with RH7.x).  I would be tempted to
say that the drive or the media is toasted, except that the "burn:///"
in Nautilus works for burning some backup data *EVEN AFTER* getting
the above message and on the same piece of media.  (Perhaps Nautilus
can create audio CDs too, but if so, I haven't found the button.)
