I get these error messages with the majority of CD's that I have tried,
I would
get more information if, A) I was told what was needed, B) The system
didn't
appear to hang on me.
I've tried CD's that have been burnt (and have been used several times to
install FC on other machines), Audio CD's and application CD's all of them
result in the same thing happening.
I do not beleive this behaviour was present in I think FC1, but has been
the
case since FC2.
Then your issue doesn't sound like mine.
I believe those errors are generic 'read' errors,
your question is why are you getting them.
I get mine because ever since kernel 2.6.9 (on both FC2 and FC3),
I can no longer burn CDs... 2.6.8 and earlier works fine.
So because I can't burn CDs (correctly) they are bad when I try to
read them, and hence the/my errors.

Just in case it is the same problem -- I am noting strange pauses in the
current devel kernel 2.6.10-1.1056_FC4 periodically, interrupting video
playback and audio for a second or two at intervals, even when the machine is
fairly quietscant.
That might well be long enough to wreck up any burning if it is the same deal.
I added it to an existing bugzilla under Alsa-lib but I don't think that is
the culprit, just an easy way to detect the pauses.

There's a lot of heavyweight debug code in the rawhide kernels right now
which could account for this. It's the usual stuff that gets turned off
just before release (checking for reuse of free'd memory etc..)

FWIW, I have noted similar audio interruptus with 2.6.10-1.727_FC3 using
xmms (1.2.10) with internet radio streams. Playback will stop
consistently, though the actual play time will vary. Sometimes it is
after a few seconds, others after some minutes. It does not re-start
however, I need to manually re-play the stream again.
I tried running xmms from a terminal to see if any messages were
displayed upon stoppage, but there was nothing.
This phenomenon does not appear to happen with audio CDs or MP3s
strangely enough. I am playing some MP3s at the moment, with no
problems.
I have not had any problems burning DVDs with this kernel. I burned two
today using k3b and the post burn verification check was fine.
Other than the above, I have not noted other problems with this kernel.
This is all on a Dell 5150 laptop (3.2 Ghz P4, 2 Gb RAM) fully updated,
including BIOS (A37) with a NEC DVD+RW (ND-5100A).

Thanks, that can easily explain it if something allocated and freed a big
chunk of memory and then it is checked for being touched. I'll wait and see
if it goes away when a stable 2.6.10 kernel turns up then.

As a heads-up, todays rawhide has an extra debugging check that
checks those memory allocations periodically. This should catch
stuff that stomps past the end of its allocation, but never
free's it. Hopefully it won't turn up anything new, but it's
worth having it on for now just for a look-see..

I am having some problems of apparent conflicts between USB (mouse) and acpi
[this is already bugzilla'ed] and was wondering if the new kernel in rawhide
might fix the problem. I am currently running FC3 with all available updates
applied. Is there any problem running the rawhide kernel in such a system
(other than any problems the kernel itself might have)?

Rawhide is currently based on 2.6.10-bk9, updates-testing has a
2.6.10-ac3 kernel (soon to be ac6). At this moment, I'd have
more faith that the -ac kernel is going to prove more solid.

On my laptop:
I'm not having troubles with the 727 kernel. My DVD is working, the box
powers off properly, X is alright if I don't change to a virtual
terminal. I did try a rawhide kernel for the first 2.6.10 kernel that I
saw in rawhide. It needed to pull in newer kernel related packages from
rawhide, in addition to the kernel.
Is it possible that some of the oops' that are hapnening are related to
the 2.6.10 krnel not requiring the newer kernel related packages? I
don't know because I have the kernel related packages installed and then
installed kernel-2.6.10-1.727_FC3 afterwards.
On my desktop:
The new kernel in rawhide shows the debugging code, then oops' during
further booting. This is on a rawhide system that is fully updated. I
just used the previous rawhide kernel and did not investigate the oops.

That might well be long enough to wreck up any burning if it is the same deal.
I don't think its the same cause for me, because I would have expected
cdrecord
to have told me that there was a buffer under-run or that burn-free had
to kick
in, and I don't see that.
Also I don't think I see 'interrupted video' or audio either.
But then again, I'm only running 2.6.9-1.11_FC2
