[Debburn-devel] LG CH08LS10 not burning CDs

[surfed]

Also i have read in one forum that switching from ahci to ide in sata mode
solved it for one drive, cant check on my box as nothing will boot if i do.
All Disks tested where CD-R and DVD-R and DVD-DL in TAO. I even tried Nero4
for linux with no luck.
