Prior to the issue of Feisty Beta I had had 2.6.20-11 installed on my system (on hdc1) as part of the earlier Feisty package. Then 2.6.20-12 was added as an upgrade, but I found that that kernel first gave me this problem.
When Feisty Beta was issued, I installed it on hdc1, overwriting my previous Feisty, and so I lost my working 2.6.20-11 kernel. IIRC Feisty Beta came with 2.6.20-12 and then 2.6.20-13 was added as an upgrade. With neither of these kernels does K3b Setup recognise my CD drive. Yesterday, reading the Ubuntu forums thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=393614 I found that poster picpak reported that he had had the same problem as me, and had located and installed the deb of 2.6.20-11: http://mirror.linux.org.mt/mirror/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.20 /linux-image-2.6.20-11-generic_2.6.20-11.18_i386.deb I downloaded and installed this into my Feisty Beta, and found that as before, K3b Setup recognises my CD drive correctly. To enable you to figure out what might be going on, I attach the following: - my /boot/grub/menu.lst - my /etc/fstab - the dmesg output when I run each of the kernels 20.6.11, 12 and 13 -- Feisty Beta does not recognise CD burner https://launchpad.net/bugs/96826 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
