Well, I have gotten k3b installed with everyone help.
The first few times I ran it, it was missing files
like growisofs, but the apt-get/yum system fixed that.
Then I ran k3b with a standard cd-rom in the dvd
drive. All was looking good. The DVD drive was
listed, and when I clicked on the drive, I could see
the cdrom contents. I wanted then to put in a blank
DVD. So I right-clicked, and selected "unmount", then
"eject".
That was when my server froze up. No mouse movement.
Nothing. I rebooted, and now the drive is missing.
Furthermore, during the bootup process, when kudzu is
looking for new hardware, it seems that the screen
gives a slight flicker that I don't remember before.
If I run lspci, I can see the USB 2.0 controller card
that I added to run the DVD writer. But the cdrecord
--scanbus doesn't show the drive like it used to. And
k3b doesn't show it.
I think this is a hardware problem. But I'm note sure
if it is the controller or the DVD drive. (The drive
was a SONY DRU ~720 and seemed of good quality).
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Kevin
