[Debburn-devel] LG CH08LS10 not burning CDs

[surfed]

Ok, i restested everything as it was 2am last night when i did and made some
oversights...

RIP, cant get cdrecord to work, it will not accept my dev=/dev/sr0 or
dev=scsi:1,0,0 but i did get dmesg errors when inserting disk

so i booted into Mint Linux on USB stick (my main distro is Arch Linux) and
got same results, then rebooted with ACPI changed to ATA. Disk access was
very slow, took forever to open up apps BUT burning worked altough at low
speeds 1x - 3x for DVD.
Now I am confused.... Why did it work for a few burns under ARCH before
failing again? If it is another process accessing the drive how do i figure
out wich?
Thank you for your help
