Hi,

Am having problems with my CD burner in Archlinux.

Now it's a Phillips DVD RW + CD-RW into one and I can play stuff through it, but opening K3b tells me that I cannot burn anything because it hasn't detected a burner!

Here is my fstab:

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0


/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 vfat user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/cdrw0 /mnt/cdrw iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0


The cdrw0 line I created myself and I made the directory for it too in /mnt but that still hasn't worked.

Any ideas?
 
Has worked a treat, currently burning a CD - cheers.

However, when I rebooted my mouse didn't not work. Has done this before and the only way to get it working again is to power down, turn off at the PSU and wait a minute.

I have to do this so my BIOS and can that I have a mouse connected, (it's funny like that), so then I booted up and I am getting a load of call trace messages and it won't boot!

One thing that stood out was a message saying something like, ooops: SMP error.

Any ideas?


Think my computer is probably near to its death tbh.

EDIT: Yep, definitely doesn't like the USB mosue anymore! Am having to use an old serial one which I've not used for about 5 years lol
