Howdy -

Using FC3 RC5 updated as of today.  I had to disconnect my external USB
2.0 HP DVD Writer in order to get FC3 installed, otherwise I got a fatal
oops at installation time.

Now that FC3 is installed, I am trying to use said DVD+RW drive.  When I
plug it in I see this:

Nov  5 14:10:29 thomas kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using

Nov  5 14:10:29 thomas kernel: sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer

However, usbview, grip and XCDroast do not see the drive.  It works
flawlessly in FC2.

I do see it in /proc/bus/usb/devices though:

Am I missing something?  What do I need to do to use this drive?
