I've tested with 2.4.18 (which AFAIK has another IDE driver) and the same happens. I think that maybe the motherboard is damaged :(( I'll try the newer cdrecord (if it is stable) and, if that doesn't work, I may consider testing 2.5 Thanks for your answer :) Ra?l N??ez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 http://www.pleyades.net & http://raul.pleyades.net/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
