[K3b-user] unable to WRITE@LBA=0h:input / output error

[Sean S. <se...@sf...>]

All of a sudden I am unable to burn DVD's. Granted, I use Gentoo and
have done quite a bit of updating since the last time I tried... I am
running 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 with the same kernel config I've used since
2.6.9 and has always worked quite well for me. Also using the same
DVD+R's (sony).

Debug output is as follows:

I am using a  LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1673S drive. I was trying to use
K3B-12.4.x and when that failed I downgraded to 11.24. It basically
spins the disk up 3 or 4x, but never starts writing before it errors out.

Let me know if there is anything else you need to know. You can see my
lspci -v output here: http://sfsullivan.homelinux.org/lspci.html. That
site contains pretty much ALL the specs on my system.

Any help is appreciated :~)
