Nero Linux Discuss, Buffer Underrun? at Nero & InCD forum; I've been trying to get nerolinux working with a Sony DRU-720A. It starts OK, but then the buffer starts routinely running down to 0% then refilling to 100%. When the burn is completed, nerolinux reports no errors, but the disk is unmountable. Here's some relevant output from my shell: Code:

I've been trying to get nerolinux working with a Sony DRU-720A. It starts OK, but then the buffer starts routinely running down to 0% then refilling to 100%.

When the burn is completed, nerolinux reports no errors, but the disk is unmountable. Here's some relevant output from my shell:

Code:

[root@flux ~]# hdparm /dev/hdg

/dev/hdg:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    =  8 (on)
 geometry     = 238216/16/63, sectors = 240121728, start = 0
[root@flux ~]# hdparm -t /dev/hdg

Is your device an IDE internal one or is it the USB external version ? As far as I see, your device is connected via the ide-scsi driver, so you must be using a 2.4 kernel.

Maybe try this: Look at the DMA status for your device. To do this, identify the _real_ IDE device name, and type:

hdparm -d /dev/hdXX (where hdXX is your device name)

If DMA is not enable, then enable it. It is a nice option to also pass -X66 to enable UDMA, that is not set by default with 2.4 kernels.
