Updated to the latest cdrtools and k3b. cdrecord -v -scanbus dev=ATAPI still works, but k3b as root still hangs and dies. [pybe@help pybe]$ rpm -q k3b cdrecord k3b-0.11.14-0.FC2.1 cdrecord-2.01.1-0.FC2.1 [pybe@help pybe]$ uname -r 2.6.8-1.521 [pybe@help pybe]$ ps waux | grep k3b root 3492 1.0 2.9 38192 18876 pts/0 D 17:36 0:01 k3b pybe 3564 0.0 0.0 4672 596 pts/1 S 17:39 0:00 grep k3b Has anyone else got any issues similar to this? Why do I seem to be the only one who cannot use k3b even as root? aaarrrrrggggg! Pybe
