This is just for info. There is a problem with kernel s 2.6.8+ and k3b where it cannot detect most writers properly and hence shows up as a normal drive instead of a writer under k3b. This is a kernel issue as claimed by the k3b team.
I had a similar problem. K3B detected my writer but made the system very unstable when trying to write Audio CD's. Writing regular data cd's was not a problem. I had mailed the K3B team with the problem & system details and promptly got a relpy saying that the kernel version I'm using was buggy and to upgrade/downgrade.
BTW: anybody using kernel 2.6.8+ with k3b ?? which writer / kernel
I was using kernel 2.6.8 for FC2 on a Sony Writer when this problem came to my knowledge. Currently I'm using the 2.6.5 and am facing no problems writing CD's. Haven't tried Audio CD's as yet.
