I also have the pioneer 105 and have never burned one single DVD without 
getting the same error. In addition I always get a warning that the drive 
reports the startsector. I got those errors with 0.1.3 and get them now with 
0.1.4, both on Gentoo current. 
This doesn't seem to matter though, since it still burns ahead fine. 

Does the process stop after that with your setup? What firmware do you have? 
Maybe it's that? I have the most current one installed (1.30). Don't know if 
that matters though, since at least your pioneer media should work with the 
drive.

I don't think your problem is because of that error message, I guess it's 
elsewhere. Then again, I wouldn't have a clou where, sorry.

Regards,

Richard
