Description of problem: SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices (scsi2, Kernel 2.6.8-1.521) wrongly identifies my external CD - Writer as a Direct-Access device. Kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 (scsi1) correctly identifies and mounts the CD - writer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.8-1.521, (scsi2?) How reproducible: Every time so far Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot up kernel 2.6.8-1.521 2. Connect and turn on external CD - Writer 3. Actual results: CD - Writer identified as a Direct-Access device. CD - Writer cannot be mounted. Expected results: That the CD - Writer be mounted as it is under 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 Additional info: It doesn't appear to make any difference when the CD - Writer is connected and turned on (before, during or after booting the kernel). Also Kudzu is turned off.

mass update for old bugs: Is this still a problem with the 2.6.9 based update kernel ?
