Nah. What's bugging is that it used to work fine with 2.4.x. What

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# rpm -qi cdrecord
Name : cdrecord Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version : 2.0 Vendor: (none)
Release : 6 Build Date: Tue 10 Jun 2003 07:36:18 AM IST
Install date: Tue 10 Jun 2003 07:36:54 AM IST Build Host: mail.linux-delhi.org
So it's possible that I do have cdrecord 2.0 but without the
all-important patch. Will build manually and check.

Shridhar> Hmm..which are these, for example? Never faced it..

<null>

Using module-init-tools-0.9.14
WTH, I think I'll stop being lazy and upgrade to Fedora or Debian (or
both) or something. RH 8.0 is just too old anyway.
