I get this when i burn as user and as root. I've put myself in the cdrom and cdrw group, i've uninstalled submount and fixed the fstab but i still get the error... yet in windows dvd's burn fine.

It stops at a different time each time. I really don't have a clue anymore.
 
Had the same problem:

If you do "hdparm -d /deb/hdg" you will see if DMA is enabled for your drive.

"hdparm -d1 /dev/hdg" will enable DMA for that drive.

S.
 
indeed dma was off... i tought dma was on by default :S

thnx for the tip!

Edit:

well when i turn on dma k3b doesn't write at all... i'm gonna have to fiddle with the cables a bit i guess
