I have problem with my QSI CDRW/DVD combo drive on kernel 2.6.11.9. It's recognized as CDROM only and I can't burn any cd's with k3b or cdrecord. The cdrecord -scanbus commsnd findes the drive on the scsi bus and it's reported as CDRW/DVD drive and the device is /dev/sdc with 666 permitions.
When I boot in the old 2.6.6 kernel everithing works fine and I can't figure why because I can't find any differences in the drive configurations (it is the same config in the both kernels). Both kernels have SCSI emulation of IDE ATAPI drives enabled and everithing and all messages for the drive on booting (in dmesg) are the same.
Any ideas?
Thank you for the replay. I looked in the /etc/fstab file and the cdrom is mounted ro, but this should not be a problem because the drive works fine in kernel 2.6.6 which came with my Knoppix 3.4 (Debian testing/unstable) distribution. The problem I have is in 2.6.11.9 kernel which I compiled by my self. Maybe I missed something in the kernel compilation?
