Details

I have a HP Pavilion dv6960 (it's a dv6700 series machine) notebook, with a TSSTcorp TS-L632N optical drive.
If I write e.g. an ubuntu-8.10 iso to a Verbatim CD-RW, wodim reports no errors, but cdck and md5sum fails. However booting Vista, I can read back the CD contents successfully, and md5sum is OK also. However, if I boot with this CD, ubuntu livecd also reports unreadable sectors.

I have another machine (a PC), with another TSSTcorp drive, and with the same software versions, and it produces the same symptoms, so I suspect this is a wodim issue with TSSTcorp drives maybe.
I have also tried burning the iso to the disk with nerolinux, and this time, cdck reported an excellent disk, so it might be a kernel bug...
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Seems like drive/firmware problem. wodim -dao or cdrecord works around it.

I installed cdrecord from AUR, and it produces a good cd, so this must be a wodim issue, I have already reported this issue to them:

It seems to be, that adding "-dao" to wodim command line "solves" this problem. Cdrecord might use dao writing by default.
