Kernel upgrade broke CD-DVD usability

Can you use a live on CD to test CD/DVD burning? Both ops on the same
drive?

Carlos: TOUCHED :-)
I think it is impossible, at least in my case where I have a notebook
with just one drive.
Or may be it is possible if all kernel and modules went loaded into RAM
(I have 4GB) then slip off live CD and test an empty media to burn (??)

The entire ISO would have to be loaded in memory. It is possible with a
modern machine, I think I saw a friend load another CD. I have little
experience with "lives" myself.

Mumble mumble...

Indeed :-)

I have a bit of shame to confess that the problem was just a very small
dirt particle that has glued onto the CD-DVD drive lens!

Ha! :-)

I played several times a CD lens cleaner which evidently doesn't sorted
out the issue.

I don't know how those things are supposed to work. Never seen one
closely.

Beside this the strange is that DVD disc went burned correctly but CD-R
never.

Different laser for burning and reading? Or for DVD and CD?

Then I started to think about a kernel issue or other mistery until I
discover that the lens was not perfectly clean.

Yep, we should remember that.

Then now I can burn both CD and DVD without any problems.

Good :-)
