hi
the new kernel 2.6.8.1 doesn't work with k3b you will get only cd devices no burner device any more
see bug:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87211
the attached patch doesn't work
if you need your burner and k3b be aware of this problem until it's fixed

EDIT (damir):
the 2.6.8.x kernels filter commands to be sent to the cdrw/dvd-rw devices and allow only root to burn - restoring old behaviour:

# restore classical cd/dvd burning behaviour: (2.6.8.1)
sed -i '195s|if (verify_command(file, cmd))| /* if (verify_command(file, cmd))|;198s|/*| |' drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c

this is already implemented into >2.6.8.1.mm2
This task depends upon

It works if you start k3b as root user.

jep that's right
burning cd's with root works
didn't test that before

please assign it to judd it's definitly a kernel bug
new feature or whatever you want to call it
it breaks cdrecord and dvd+rw tools
more can be found on kernel mailinglist

editing bug - renaming

EDIT (damir):
the 2.6.8.x kernels filter commands to be sent to the cdrw/dvd-rw devices and allow only root to burn - restoring old behaviour:

# restore classical cd/dvd burning behaviour: (2.6.8.1)
sed -i '195s|if (verify_command(file, cmd))| /* if (verify_command(file, cmd))|;198s|/*| |' drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c

this is already implemented into >2.6.8.1.mm2

this bug concerns the kernel26 and not k3b -> reassigned to Judd
Comment by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa) - Saturday, 21 August 2004, 14:27 GMT
sed -i '196s|if (verify_command(file, cmd))| /* if (verify_command(file, cmd))|;198s|/*| |' drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c
needed for 2.6.8.1 ! not 195 that fails

Fixed in 2.6.8.1-3
