Grr.

On a whim, I tried running the command:

cdrdao read-cd --device /dev/cdrom --datafile cd.bin cd.toc

as root.

Guess what? it worked.

I rebooted without the ide-scsi crud, and it still worked. But only as root.

So, back to the "normal" configuration, /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc.

running the command as myself fails. Running as root succeeds. Interesting. Let's look at the device node:

[EMAIL PROTECTED](pts/0):~ 25 $ ls -al /dev/hdc
brw------- 1 gkade disk 22, 0 Sep 23 22:00 /dev/hdc

Okay, I'm logged in on the console, and RH/Fedora have this stupid "console user" thing they love so much to do. All the same, check my id:

[EMAIL PROTECTED](pts/0):~ 26 $ id
uid=1000(gkade) gid=1000(gkade) groups=100(users),1000(gkade) context=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

Hrm.

So, something's missing. Is it SELinux? Whoop, another reboot to find out...

Nope, that's not it, either, which makes sense, since nothing was logged.

Interestingly enough, when I try to run this as a normal user, I get this in my syslog:

Sep 23 22:12:07 tigger kernel: scsi: unknown opcode 0x01

This has apparently been happening all along when I tried this. But not as root. The truly unnerving thing here is that this all worked fine in FC3 and FC4 (and RHEL4). So, I'm missing something, but it's not ide-scsi. Anyone have any suggestions?
