Hi, I have asked this question but no response. I am stumped, if I insert a normal music CD into the drive, KsCD reports no disc, dmesg reports:-
sr 6:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE sr 6:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] sr 6:0:0:0: [sr0] Add.

I am using kde4.3.4 and Portage 2.1.7.16 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.11-r1, 2.6.32-gentoo-r1 x86_64) Thank you for any help Paul -- This message has been sent using kmail on gentoo.
