    Please send the drive description (from within k3b).

    ----ORGINAL MESSAGE----

    I installed a new CD-RW drive on my desktop running
    SuSE 8.1 Professional Linux. Right now, I have two
    drives in the system. A regular old CD-ROM and this
    CD-RW drive. My CD-ROM (/dev/hdd) can read CDs just
    fine (audio or data).

    I tried to install a later version of K3b to no avail.
     It made me update to KDE 3.1. That's a whole other
    (very long, painful) story...I am back to KDE3.0.3 (I
    think/hope).

    Bottom line is that I'm using k3b 0.7 right now.

    Prior to the KDE sidetracking, if I did "eject
    /dev/hdc" my CD-RW would eject. If I did "eject
    /dev/hdd" my CD-ROM would eject.

    Further, k3b correctly(?) recognized/recognizes my
    reader as /dev/hdd and my CD-RW as /dev/sg0.
    I'm pretty sure that those are in fact the right /dev
    files because if I do

    "eject /dev/hdc" or "eject /dev/hdd" the drive I would
    expect to eject does.

    Two problems...

    FIRST, WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE THE KDE3.1 SIDETRACKING:
    When trying to burn mp3's in k3b, sometimes (ie.
    rarely) the burn seemed to go okay. By this I mean
    that all the tracks are written and seem to be the
    right length.

    However, the tracks on the CD are nothing but static.
    Also, the very end of the songs--probably the last
    half second or so--seems to sound right.

    (Yes, it was set up as an audio project.)

    Most of the time though, I was getting the message
    "not all files have been buffered".

    I also noticed that the programs tccat, tcdecode,
    tcextract, tcscan, tcprobe, and transcode all seemed
    to be missing.

    SECOND, RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT, I CAN'T EVEN EJECT
    /dev/hdc (the CD-RW) ANYMORE AT ALL.

    I get the message:
    eject: unable to eject, last error: Input/output error

    I get the same message if I try to "eject /dev/sg0".
    Admittedly though, I never tried that before the KDE
    Sidetrack.
    However, if I go into K3b setup it STILL says the
    CD-RW is "Generic SCSI" and on /dev/sg0. I have the
    boot line in grub set for ide-scsi (or scsi-ide can't
    remember which offhand).

    Thanks in advance for you help!

    Cheers,
    wmeler
