DVD burning is broken since 2.6.13-rc1 and I checked this morning the 2.6.14-rc1: Same status. To be short, when burning a DVD at 16x with 2.6.12.6, no problem at all. With 2.6.13-rc1 and upper, lots of buffer underruns. (If someone wants to help, feel free to ask more details... I would be happy to help anyone). The only thing that I know is that it is not coming from the peripheral driver, as I have the same issue when using ide-cd with a CDROM_SEND_PACKET ioctl or usb-storage+sg with a SG_IO ioctl. As far as I looked in the source code, it seems to be lots (and lots) of changes between these 2 versions, specially regarding block devices drivers. But the ChangeLog is so huge that it is quite impossible to make a step-by-step upgrade to see _where_ the problem is :-( > Both the diffstat and the shortlog are so big that I can't post them on > the kernel mailing list without getting the email killed by the size > restrictions, so there's not a lot to say. > > alpha, arm, x86, x86-64, ppc, ia64, mips, sparc, um..
