Solved the OPC failed-error by manually choosing a drive-specific driver instead of the generic one.
Is there one that matches your drive? (use driver=help to list them)

Tried driver=help as user and sudo su but no response.
Am I supposed to substitute 'driver' with the cdwriter name?

No, just run this command:
cdrecord driver=help
This will list the available drivers

Thanks mikshaw,
See first post in this thread:
"device seems to be: generic mmc cd-rw.
Using scsi-3/mmc cd-r/cd-rw driver mmc_cdr".
Which appears in the driver=help list. Now what?.

Edit:
These two lines:
cdrecord: input/output error send opc scsi sendcmd no error.
and
status: 0x2 (check condition).

Any idea what they mean?.

Edit: 5/8/08.
Success in burning cd:
Used 3.3 ver cd that came with the DSL book as Livecd:
dsl toram dma norestore.
Perhaps my later downloads (versions after 3.3) were not burned correctly.
Many thanks to all for help.

Checking further:
I tried to mount a cd I had burned last year (with probably a dsl3xx).
Unable to mount using the cdwriter that burned it but mountable on cdrom. (I have cdrom and cdrom1(cdwriter) installed.

Decided to re-burn to a new cd media by first copying all to my harddrive.
Every file copied shows "cp reading /mnt/auto/cdrom/'filename' input/output error" in emelfm.
Also many of the files were jpegs and unusable as only part of the image appears.
Any suggestions?

EDIT:
Tried cdrecord from Aterm with -tao and it worked. cd readable from both cdrom and cdwriter.
Just does not seem to work with the "cd burn app".
Perhaps there is a way to change the 'cd burn app" to accept -tao instead of default -sao.
