Description of problem: I did a fresh install of FC2, I have my CD-RW in /dev/hdd (LG device, HL-DT-ST GCE-8525B) but it does not get recognized by k3b, actually it gets recognized by cdrecord -scanbus: scsibus1: 1,0,0 100) 'DVDROM 1' '0X ' '41 ' Removable CD-ROM 1,1,0 101) '-D-DSTST' '-R-RGCGC8=85B B ' '0303' NON CCS Disk But when I try to add a new device to k3b it says it doesn't find any device there. When I try to burn a disk using nautilus burner, it throws an error too Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel: 2.6.5-1.358, cdrecord: Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a27-dvd (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Steps to Reproduce: Open K3b, try to add a new device to it. Try to burn some files thru nautilus burner Actual results: An error gets displayed either with k3b or nautilus cd-burn Expected results: A cd burnt with some info Additional info:
btw, this same cd-rw was working without a hitch in FC1 before
Update: I tried an experiment, I did a minimal install of FC1, then upgraded everything except the kernel from FC2 disks, That is, FC2 running with a 2.4.22 kernel, this works, I can burn CDs with k3b or gnome-cdburn.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
