DVD Writer woes

[liquidzoo]

In addition to my NVidia driver woes, and my sound woes in Wine, now apparently k3b doesn't recognize my dvd burner.

 

I have had no issues with Sabayon, Gentoo, or even Kubuntu. All of them recognize the burner immediately.

 

Why must Mandriva be so difficult...Past versions have had no issues with this, just 2008.1...

 

I'm contemplating upgrading to cooker.

 

I'll go to my desktop and post some other relevant details in a moment, but anyone have any ideas?

There is no /dev/dvd or /dev/cdrom

There is no listing in harddrake for an optical drive of any kind.

 

From dmesg:

So that tells me that it's failing, for some reason...but why?

[liquidzoo]

It's the only optical drive on my system.

 

All SATA in my system.
