my system:
RH 7.1
DELL Precision 210
Dual processor 750/512 MB RAM/13 gb HD

hda is HD
hdc is cdrom ATAPI 48x CD-R
hdd is cdrom1 ATAPI 40x12x48 CD-RW (mfg=BENQ 4012P-004)

I Keep getting the following error when I run cdrecord -scanbus
Additionally, while the CD-R is accessible from X it is not listed in the following output.
I can burn a disk from X-CD-Roast...but why do I keep getting the following error ??

"cdrecord: Warning: controller returns wrong size for CD capabilities page."

Well, a google search gave this page -
http://hypermail.idiosynkrasia.net/linux-kernel/archived/2001/week50/1099.html

According to Joerg Schilling that just means it is not a standard compliant CDRW drive. Apparently, it's not a problem, ignore.

I have something similar. I picked up a used HP Cd writer plus. WRiting cd's in eroaster gives an error message of wrong startsec
using modified startsec -150

But it burns cd's just fine, all the same. Also use gltoaster for multisession burning.
