Comment 103 for bug 405544

mp, I understand the frustration, but this bug is pervasive across Linux, i.e. affects multiple distros and is not something we can easily fix. Just do a google search of "[sr1] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current]" or "[sr1] Add. Sense: Logical block address out of range" and you'll see. It seems that it may even be firmware related, in which case we can't fix it. Couple of questions:

1) Can you test this with Maverick? I'm asking because I'm running maverick on my Thinkpad X301 with a USB connected CD/DVD burner and I don't have this error.

2) Are you using a new, never written to DVD-RW or one that you erased? I'm asking because that might indicate where we should investigate.
