The 2.6.8 and 2.6.8.1 kernels have known problems with CD writing (though the drive can be used for reading). Both .7 (testing/Sarge) and .9 (unstable) kernels are currently in apt repositories. Personally, I was unable to find a workaround for the .8 cd writing problem; I reverted to 2.6.7. (This was before 2.6.9 was released; I now use 2.6.9 without cd writing problems.)

I have an elderly woman, whom I installed debian sarge for.
She now has a cdrwriter installed on her computer, but it fails to full recognize it. it shows the writer as a reader under all user accounts,but not under root account.
I'm working remotely, so it's a slow go process.
I've set her k3b the same way as I've set up my version..
I also setup xcdroast, and it successfully finds the reader & the writer.
No matter what I try, I cannot get k3b to recognized the cdriter.
In the config, it sows the writer as a reader, but it show it to be able to be write to cdrw, but not cdr
This is the kernel she is running; uname -a Linux elkys-home 2.6.8-1-k7 #1 Thu Nov 11 12:47:56 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
Maybe reverting to kernel 2.6.7.
I've no direct experience but If you look in the list you'll find that others reported the same problem as there are some issues with CD writing with 2.6.8 and 2.6.9.
