Description Gert Ereth 2011-06-16 11:58:01 CEST

Description of problem:
After installation of mageia1 (32-bit) on a notebook (Medion MD98300) the dvd-burner is not recognized as an optical-device.
device sr0 has not been created. In file /proc/scsi/scsi the burner is not listed !
The burner is shown as device hdc.
I can mount a dvd manually with the mount-command (and read).
If i start K3B, it tells me, that it cannot find an optical device.

BOS-Information:
SATA HDD(port one): WDC WD1200BEVS-00RST0
PATA ODD (secondary master): TSSTcorpCD/DVDW

P.S. the optical-device works fine with "Mandriva 2010.2" or other distributions !
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.38.7-desktop-1.mga

How reproducible:
Every time i nstall Mageia1

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Mageia1
2.
3.

In VirtualBox Mageia1 works fine.

Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2011-06-16 16:04:36 CEST

$ grep /dev ~/.kde4/share/config/k3brc
current_writer=/dev/sr0
writer_device=/dev/sr0
writer_device=/dev/sr0

While it can be done in the k3b config, try changing the above to hdc,
and see if that works.

Comment 3 Gert Ereth 2011-06-16 17:03:23 CEST

there are no entries "current_writer=" or "writer_device=" in the file k3brc !

The problem is that the device "/dev/sr0" does not exist.
"/dev/hdc" is the wrong device.
