           Product: k3b
         Component: k3b
           Summary: k3b does not recognize cdrw as a cdrom
           Product: k3b
           Version: 0.9-5mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: k3b
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


On Mandrake 9.2rc1, launching k3b gives the following warning :

No support for ATAPI with cdrdao
You will not be able to use all your reading devices as copy sources since there
is at least one not configured to use SCSI emulation and your system does not
support ATAPI with cdrdao.
Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable ide-scsi (SCSI
emulation) for all writer devices. This way you won't have any problems.

I've tried to reproduce it and it appears even though I had this message as well
for my cdrw (which does not appear any more...)
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
MITSUMI CR-48X9TE

This is annoying as, for a multisession CDR, I cannot read the previous session.
I have to put it in my DVD to verify that all went well.

even though in lilo.conf there is (for MdK92rc1)
        append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off resume=/dev/hda7 splash=silent"

With my /etc/fstab :
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount
dev=/dev/hdb,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=udf:iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
/dev/hda10 /mnt/data_linux_hda10 ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda9 /mnt/data_linux_hda9 ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda8 /mnt/linux_Mdk91 ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0 0 0
#/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
#/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs iocharset=iso8859-15,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/win_e ntfs ro,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd    /cdwriter       auto   
ro,noauto,user,exec     0 0
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd     /cdrom  auto    ro,noauto,user,exec    0 0

(maybe those two last lines explain why the second message does not appear any
more... they may not have been taken into account immediately, though rebooting
is not the way I expect Linux to make me work, reminds me too much of another
partition I now use for storage...).

oups I've just realized I launched it as a normal user and it worked this time,
my previous bug does not count... well, what's the point of rebooting with Linux ?

To conclude for this bug, could the install of mandrake apply from the start the
suggested solution ? "Solution: The best and recommended solution is to enable
ide-scsi (SCSI emulation) for all writer devices. ". I think the noobie (like me
BTW) won't know what to do with this message.
