NO CD/DVD's detected

[Mike Chambers]

I don't know about after an initial f8t2 install, but at least since the
updates, k3b nor xcdroast can detect a cdrom nor dvd drive.  It wasn't
detected on my last updated system before I did a reinstall yesterday.
I can see the devices in the kernel messages.  Would this have to do
with cdrecord or something about that, as I thought there were license
problems with that program and therefore is maybe screwing things up?

Since Fedora 7, Fedora contains cdrkit instead of cdrecord, the application is 
now called wodim (cdrecord is a symlink to wodim) and does not have this 
license problems.

Yes I can see that wodim is installed and the symlinks.  But not sure if
this is related to my problem or not though.  If it's been this way a
while, then guess it's something else.  I don't know why k3b won't pick
up neither of my drives.

What if you run as root ? Do you see a difference between "wodim 
--scanbus" and  "sudo wodim --scanbus" ?

As far as I know (which may well be wrong) k3b does not use wodim
to scan for drives, but uses internal code for that.

The actual burning is another story.
