I have been trying to write a Fedora .iso to a dvd on two of my RedHat  
systems using

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdb=Fedora-9.iso

On the 2.4.21-57.ELsmp system, I  get the  error
:-( unable to INQUIREY:  Invalid argument

On the 2.6.9-67.0.1ELsmp system, I get the error

:-( /dev/hdb:  media is not recognized as a recordable DVD


Both system in /var/log/dmesg say

hdb:  ...DVD+ -RW...ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

I have tried -R, +R dvds  from three  different companies.

What am I doing wrong?
