Hi all,
From the thread Re: [SLE] Can't compile k3b-0.8 under SuSe using kde3.1, Message-Id: <200302241047.34008.olfab@web.de>, I learned that it's possible to do away with the scsi emulation needed to burn cd's. So I removed ide-scsi from /etc/sysconfig/kernel, removed hdc=ide-scsi from grub. I ran mkinitrd, and changed the symbolic links to point to hdc and hdd. When I went into K3B setup, it was unable to see any of my drives for writers. it sees them both as cdrom drives.
But when searching /var/log/warn for an answer / cause i found this message ...

Should I be worried? Do I have to load something into sysconfig/kernel ? Any help would be appreciated. -- Franklin Maurer Usinf SuSE 8.1
