I found some suggestions on a Debian mailing list that I should be
using SCSI emulation for the DVD writer, but it did not change things.
On a custom-compiled 2.6.9-rc1 kernel with SCSI emulation, I get
exactly the same error.. on all kernels, the i386 DVD ISO dummy-writes
just fine, with or without -overburn and with both IDE and IDE-SCSI
methods.

So.. anyone managed to burn it without having to use a dual-layer
drive? I would burn it in Windows, but without either NTFS support I'd
have to first break the file into 2 < 4GB chunks, copy them to a VFAT
partition, then join them into a new file on an NTFS partition. Loads
of fun :)
