K3b. No writer after kernel 2.6.8.1 compile. ( post #1)

Description:

After compiling a new 2.6.8.1 kernel, K3b now shows only a CD reader. No CD burner is shown. Before compiling the new kernel, K3b worked perfectly.

Additional Info:

This kernel does not support supermount.

Questions:

1. Is the lack of supermount a factor in this problem?
2. Can K3b be made to work without a recompile?

i dont have a good answer, but the K3B website has this notice:

quote:
o not use Kernel 2.6.8

A patch that was introduced into the kernel shortly before the 2.6.8 release makes K3b and also the dvd+rw-tools unusable on Linux (unless run as root but that is not recommended). The very important GET CONFIGURATION MMC command is rejected by the kernel for reasons I cannot see and writing commands like MODE SELECT also fail (K3b cannot detect CD writers without it) even when the device is opened O_RDWR. Until this issue has been solved I strongly recommend to stick to kernel version 2.6.7.


Update: The kernel guys are currently fixing the problem so the next kernel release should work again.


Update 2: The problem is NOT fixed in 2.6.8.1


Update 3: Be aware that kernel 2.6.8 also contains the memory leak which makes it impossible to write audio cds, even as root.
