From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Just installed a fresh install of FC3-r1 I have an external USB dvd burner. It is correctly discovered by the kernel and here is the messages from dmesg: SCSI subsystem initialized Initializing USB Mass Storage driver... scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Vendor: _NEC Model: DVD_RW ND-2500A Rev: 1.07 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 USB Mass Storage device found at 2 usbcore: registered new driver usb-storage USB Mass Storage support registered. sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 usb 3-2: new full speed USB device using address 2 This is correct and an improvement over previous kernel version where it was incorrectly found as a Revoltec device. The problem is that when I run 'cdrecord -scanbus' I get weird results, and not always the same response.

Tried to add this to bug 134822, but was told I don't have permission to edit RHEL bugs. I am reporter of bug 137212. As mentioned in this bug report, I put a disc in the drive. As others have mentioned, it reports correctly with a disc in the drive and even k3b finds the drive as long as a disc is in. Should still work when the drive is empty.
Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
