K3B suddenly can't burn DVD anymore

[Reuben D. Budiardja]

Hello,
My K3B suddenly can't burn DVD anymore. Whenever I tried to burn DVD, it 
complained that it couldn't find media in /dev/hdc (although the DVD+R is 
there) and asked me to insert an "empty of appendable Double layer DVD+-R".

Why does it do that ? and why it asked me for a double layer media ? my data 
is < 4GB. When this happens, I suddenly get this in my /var/log/message:

Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 
{ DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel: hdc: packet command error: error=0x40 
{ LastFailedSense=0x04 }

ascq=0x01)
Mar 20 08:18:36 defiant kernel:   The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet 
command was:

00 00 "

I am not so sure if this is a device failure. Two days ago I could burn DVD 
just fine. Just now, I tried to burn CD with the same device and it worked 
fine.

Any help ?

Thank you in advance.

It seems that growisofs (which is used by K3B) is having problem writing to my 
device too:

$> growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=file_test.iso 
Error trying to open /dev/dvd exclusively ... retrying in 1 second.
:-[ READ DISC INFORMATION failed with SK=4h/ASC=09h/ACQ=01h]: Input/output 
error

Same error message in /var/log/message. Hm...

Looks at a glance like your drive has died. Given the low cost of
hardware these days, your best bet is probably to simply replace it.
My dvd drive recently gave up the ghost after only 15 only months,
replacement cost €49. I know, it isn't environmentally friendly but
what can you do?...

Hello Adel, I ran FC4 on a M70 and upgraded now to FC5 with no significant
problem.
what I remember though from the FC4 install was a bug in theinstallation
procedure which resulted in a message like "kernel panic" or so. Is this the
message you get?
