you did most likely use the wrong tool. please check again and if so, close this bug.
Program burns DVD iso as expected. Program copies CD as expected. 'Tools>Burn CD Image' opens window which clearly says in the titlebar and elsewhere:"Burn CD Image", then produces the error shown above. 64-bit issue, perhaps? This error was first seen on this system with k3b 0.12.10 built from source to run with KDE 3.4, debian testing.
I ust checked the code again and K3b wants to write a dvd in case the image is bigger than 900 mb. Normally this rough test should be sufficient. How big is /home/cb/downloads/iso/kubuntu-5.10-install-i386.iso?

The trouble with k3b was a symptom, not the cause. An upgrade to kernel 2.6.15 has solved this problem. There is an issue in 2.6.12 with initrd loading the ide_scsi module when it should be using ide_cd, or something along those lines. We didn't actually determine the cause, we only found a cure. ;-) See the thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/02/msg00235.html
