Yes. Would you please - make sure you have current versions of at least kernel, devfsd, pam and initscripts (you need at least kernel-2.4.17-Xmdk and devfsd-1.3.20-Xmdk) - look up message with subject "PATCH: sanitize devfsd configuration" in cooker archive and apply the patches - remove *contents* (not the directory itself) of /lib/dev-state - reboot and try cdrecord --scanbus and other commands once more. Please, test several reboots (the first time it should work just because /lib/dev-state has been emptied) Please, note, that the patch *requires* the above versions, using older versions will result in different problems. -andrej
