I have this this odd error that i just recently found out. I freshly installed 8.0 a while ago, and everything runs smoothly. Now just the other day i tried to burn a CD, and it fails. I have scsi emulation in my setup, and the HP CD-Writer 8200 is at /dev/sr1 I can mount it, read from it and everything. cdrecord -scanbus gives: ---<cut>--- Cdrecord 1.11a28 (i686-suse-linux) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling Linux sg driver version: 3.1.23 Using libscg version 'schily-0.6' scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'PIONEER ' 'CD-ROM DR-A14S ' '1.04' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 8200 ' '1.0f' Removable CD-ROM 0,2,0 2) * 0,3,0 3) * 0,4,0 4) * 0,5,0 5) * 0,6,0 6) * 0,7,0 7) * ---<cut>--- So it IS detected. Now, as i start Xcdroast, it finds the writer just as it should. I go to "Create CD" and "Write Tracks" I choose my ISO image and accept the layout, and the proceed to the "Write tracks" section. It asks for a blank media, and i slip a fresh one in the writer. It doesnt find it!
