I have not tried stock .30 kernel, I did try .32-rc2 vanilla and still no go.
I can test .30 however this week.

Listen, I don't care about that who forked what. if wodim or cdrecord is
broken in design, then it's time for a cdrecord-ng and start over please. I
don't want to see this bickering anymore.

We're just damaging users. We really should not be rehashing CD/DVD burning
issues over again when there's much, much more pressing issues that need to be
fixed.

Joerg, For one thing, I want to be able to access the burner devices with
their proper /dev name. Just like any other sane unix tool like, even dd. (you
used to resist this idea if I remember correctly on MLs) not the SCSI bus IDs,
honestly, what are you trying to achieve here?? make it EASY for users, not
harder.

Also, maybe if you cooperated a little better we can clean up this stinking
pile of mess.

Sincerely,
Shawn.
