Hello Sluggers,
Running SuSE 8.1.   Decided to download and install K3b.  Can't get it
to work. Here is the problem:
Open k3b, click on either the cdrom or the cdrecorder and receive a 
message "Can't mount /dev/sr0" (or /dev/sr1) which are the scsi 
designations for the cdrom and the cdrecorder. I can mount these 
devices outside of k3b in a normal mode. When I enter the k3b setup
program it identifies both the cdrom and the cdrecorder as /dev/sg0 
and /dev/sg1. If I try to create a new device ie: /dev/sr0 I get a 
message that there is no such device.  Likewise if I try /dev/cdrom.
cdrecord-scanbus identifies both of the devices as scsi and provides 
this further info:  Linux: sg driver version 3.2.0   and: Using 
libscg version "schily-0.6"
Are /dev/sr0 and /dev/sg0 the same? I tried changing the link for the 
cdrom to sg0 from sr0 but then it is no longer a block device and 
the cdrom becomes completely disabled.
Also k3b setup will not allow me to change my cdrdao driver from 
"auto" to "generic-mmc" which is the proper driver for the cdrom. It 
just keeps reverting to the "auto" selection.
I am running the latest versions of cdrdao and cdrecord.
Hope somebody a lot more knowledgeable than I can give me a hint
here.
Thanks, Bob S.
