P.S. I use the kernel 2.6.8-1-386 version 2.6.8-4
There is some issue with the 2.6.8.1 kernel and cdwriting. The only infromation I have about this is from k3b.org (in the news section):
"Do 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."I myself had no problem using k3b with 2.6.9 and 2.6.7 kernels (and k3b uses cdrecord to burn CDs).
