FC4 burning DVD I/O issue

[Mihamina Rakotomandimby]

Hi,

I try to on-the-fly burn a DVD (lack of place on my notebook) with
XCDRoast.
I have a up to date FC4, with testing repo enabled.
I installed cdrecord-ProDVD from here:
http://fedoranews.org/tchung/cdrecord-ProDVD/20060611/

I try to burn the DVD and then:

	[....]
	Linux sg driver version: 3.5.27
	Waiting for data on stdin...
	SCSI buffer size: 64512
	Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.
	cdrecord.prodvd: Cannot allocate memory. Cannot get SCSI I/O 
	buffer.
	Driveropts: 'burnfree'
	[/]

Looking at google, I found this:
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0408.1/0301.html
Seems to be a 2.6.9 issue but i am using 2.6.14 on my FC4.

What to do?
I try to burn a 4.7Go DVD. Must I really prepend strace? how?
Thank you.

With testing repo enabled you are actually using FC5T2+  and should be
asking on the fedora-test-list.

I use k3b with no problems.
Using xcdroast I believe you need to use growisofs first to create the
image. K3b does it on the fly.

You cannot put 4.7GB data on a DVD.  It actually holds about 4.3 - 4.4
GB of data.

I use k3b too, unable for monthes to have a working version of
XCDroast.... The trick with k3b is to not use the "icon menus" and drag
and drop: use only menus from menu-bar.

You can burn up to 8.5 Gb with double layer DVD.
