FreeBSD Port: k3b-0.11.20_1

[Gregory Crosswhite]

I got k3b to work under 5.2.1, but after upgrading to 5.3 I've started getting 
the following error message (using the k3b 0.11.20_1 port):

The end result is that although it detects my cdrw as a Reader, it doesn't 
detect it as a Writer.  It worked just fine, though under 5.2.1.  (Although I 
wipe and reinstalled the system and then recompiled the kernel, so maybe I 
changed something else without realizing it.)

The kernel should have all the correct modules and everything loaded,

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
# SCSI peripherals
device  scbus  # SCSI bus (required for SCSI)
device  ch  # SCSI media changers
device  da  # Direct Access (disks)
device  sa  # Sequential Access (tape etc)
device  cd  # CD
device  pass  # Passthrough device (direct SCSI access)
device  ses  # SCSI Environmental Services (and SAF-TE)

and these problems were all reported under "root" so I know it's not an access 
control error.  Running "camcontrol" gives,

Running cdrecord gives

I have also successfully burned CDs with cdrecord, so I know that the hardward 
itself is fine, and the cd driver in the kernel is fine.

I know practically nothing about SCSI, but it looks to me as if the cd driver 
in kernel doesn't like something about the commands that k3b is sending to 
it.  I don't know, however, whether this means I've screwed something up in 
the kernel (which seems unlikely since I can burn using cdrecord), or whether 
k3b is sending the wrong command.  (Or whether there's some third option 
which I'm missing in my ignorance. :-) )

If you get a chance, could you advise me as to what might be causing this 
problem?

Thank you very much for your time.
