Dead CD-R burn...



I've tried to burn a couple of CD-Rs with little to no success.

Here's what I did, maybe someone can help:

I'm using the HP-SureSture7100e, I've compiled paride+epat+pg as
 modules, loaded them, and the pg driver successfuly identified my
 CD-R. I've patched 'cdrecorder' with the scsi-linux-pg.c support and
 re-compiled it. I've done a few 'dummy' tests to make sure
 everything is ok, and got no error messages, up to now, as smooth
 as it gets (well, it did take 5 hours....;-).

Then I wanted to burn a couple of dirs from my CD-ROM and used
 the following command:

mkisofs -r /cdrom | cdrecord -v -multi fs=15m speed=2 dev=0 -

 the process started and seemed to work fine...following are the last log
lines of the burning:

All seems great isn't it?? So why is it that after all this the media
 died, I couldn't mount it (no media / unknown media / CD-ROM
 won't stop spinning etc.) + I couldn't get the TOC with 'cdrecord -toc
 dev=0'.

I've also tried creating small images with 'mkisofs' and burning them,
 but the result was the same.

Can anyone help???
