I'm running FC3, kernel 2.6.9-1.667, the stock kernel, and have tried to burn using k3b, xcdroast, nautilus, and cdrecord as both normal user and as root. I know that this isn't a hardware issue, because if I boot to FC2 (this is a dual boot FC3/FC3 box) I can burn CD's as a normal user. I've been running this same hardware since RH8 and until now, have always been able to burn CD's. Any assistance greatly appreciated.
