Yes on both counts. Cable select is not used on the CDROM. I've tried it with DMA on and off. IT seems more like a permission problem or 2 logical devices (/media/cdrom and /media/cdrecorder) accessing /dev/hdc ? Just guesses. The device is the dvd/cdrom drive in an HP ZD7280 laptop. I've got this problem on another computer as well, a desktop machine. There are half a dozen threads on fedoraforum.org about this problem, but there doesn't seem to be a conclusive solution.
