That is a known bug and it is in the hardware detection, not the stuff set up by install (as mine is). Not all cdrw/dvds are created equal, and I am glad the blasted things work this round--mostly, before this, they didn't. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have a couple (relating to the Speedtouch USB and font support) and eventually found: https://qa.mandrakesoft.com/ It uses Bugzilla - probably the most impenetrable Web application known to mortal Man ...

[expert] 8.2 Install second ide cdrom bug
I am really looking for the correct place to send bug reports. Can someone please direct me to the correct place for this. I recently installed Mandrake 8.2 and my second ide dvd drive was recognised and configured except the scsi emulation was missed. I had to add it to the append="devfs= ..." line in lilo.conf. Then I had to correct /etc/fstab to match. It seems to be mostly OK now. Before the fix the drive was not discovered by any cd burning applications.
