I note that after updating to the latest available lightscribe support
package, and the latest copy of 4L, now *I* get:
dell $ 4L-cli enumerate
Using /etc/lightscribe.rc
Drive path: /dev/sr1
Usable: 1
Full name: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-S183L SB02 129
Model: CD/DVDW SH-S183L
Manufacturer: TSSTcorp
Capabilities: monochrome
Drive inner radius: 21700
Drive outer radius: 59000
So do I once udev was convinced to make a /dev/sr0, it looks like this now:
[root@coyote linux-2.6.24-rc6]# 4L-cli enumerate
Using /etc/lightscribe.rc
Drive path: /dev/sr0
Usable: 1
Full name: LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S HS06 122
Model: DVDRW SHM-165H6S

Drive outer radius: 58700
Where I used to get the same thing as you, Gene.
I also note that now I have:
dell $ ls -l /dev/sr?
brw-rw----+ 1 mwilson disk 11, 0 2007-12-30 12:20 /dev/sr0
brw-rw----+ 1 mwilson disk 11, 1 2007-12-30 12:20 /dev/sr1
[ 6:53 pm][pts/1][/home/mwilson]
dell $ ls -l /dev/scd?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-12-30 12:20 /dev/scd0 -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-12-30 12:20 /dev/scd1 -> sr1
So udev has changed *something* recently. I admit I hadn't actually messed
with Lightscribe since my upgrade from FC6 to F7, which removed the support
libraries... reinstalled them and the applications last night.
Don't know when the sr[n] <-> scd[n] behavior might have changed.
Me either, and I haven't done anything to udev, but did build another kernel
with much of the disk related stuffs built in, and now it works as expected.
And /dev/sr0 and /dev/scd0 have the same major,minor.
[root@coyote linux-2.6.24-rc6]# ls -l /dev/sr0 /dev/scd0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 11, 0 Jan 1 20:27 /dev/scd0
brwx------ 1 root root 11, 0 Jan 1 20:27 /dev/sr0
but different perms? Odd. Not softlinks & I just rebooted, I had a remote X
session freeze the system, even stopped the titlebar clock. I have GOT to
trace that down somehow. My shop box 150 feet away is also frozen I think, I
haven't tried to ssh into it since rebooting. So I'll have to go out in the
snow and reboot it too. Damn I hate that... Humm, no, it appears my
rebooting here must have killed the process out there. Might have left stale
locks though.
Versions:
4L-1.0-r6
lightscribeApplications-1.10.19.1-0 (this is SimpleLabeler)
lightscribe-1.10.27.1-0
Same as here now.
and...
udev-116-3.fc7
This is all on F7, obviously.
udev-095-17.fc6 here.
F8 will get put together here when I get a sata card with a fscking bios
enabled. First pass failed, we should blacklist the Masscool XWT-RC018 card
because of that. The linux drivers work just fine, but you can't boot from a
drive the bios cannot see.

So not a Fedora kernel. Wonder if that's relevant.
Probably. Definite maybe at least. :)
