My cdrecord used to work but suddenly it stopped working. I have done several emerge -vauD world since last time I burned a CD, so it may be an upgrade of some application that have caused the problem. A weird thing is that the test run seems to be working, it just wont do the actual burning, but what do I know.

This is from my lilo.conf:
Code:

image = /boot/bzImage-2.6.12.5
        root = /dev/hda2
        #root = /devices/discs/disc0/part3
        label = Gentoo-2.6.12.5
        append=" dev=/dev/hdc"
        read-only # read-only for checking


When I scan the bus:
Code:
# cdrecord -v dev=ATA -scanbus

Anyone? Is it possible that the cd-drive is broken? If that is the case, how do I test it?

its possible.. cdrecord: OPC failed.

have you tried another good quality media?

another possibility might be to update the firmware to TS04

http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/5578/samsung-ts-h292a-firmware-ts04/ but it probably needs windows.. I'm afraid my own firmware upgrading has been done on NEC's but that went very well.
I would try Verbatim media or equivalent first tho'!

I found this on cdfreaks, and was rather surprised they had nothing later than TS00
http://www.cdfreaks.com/drive/firmware/1125
at least it has a link to the flash app if you need it/dare to try it :-)

Btw, a new NEC 3540a only cost NOK 395.- here in Oslo

It seems like it was a bad media. Have bought some others and they work fine.
