Sorry, I was away from the my desk for awhile. The CD burner is about a
year old. It has burnt other ISO's just fine in the past. It is a TDK
listed in YaST as TDK CDRW241040B. It burns without any errors using
cdrecord. The disk is being read back in VMWare. I haven't had a
problem with VMWare in the past. I might see if I can scrounge up a
klunker to load FC3 on without having to go through VMWare and verify
that the problem exists there as well. Anyway, I'm working off of FC2
right now and it seems to be ok.
I recorded the disks at 4x even though the drive is supposed to be
capable of 12 or 16x, I forget off hand. I still intend to re-burn them
at 2x and see if I get a different result. I don't really understand
why there are problems with Linux burning at higher rates. I should be
able to use the capacity of the drive, I would think. I use 4x because
I have tried using the drives actual speed with failures. I went down
to 2x without problems and then 4x and hadn't had any problems.
