[gentoo-user] brasero drive detection

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I have two machines with nearly identical hardware and (believed)
identical GenToo (~amd64) systems.

On one of these I have to start brasero with --device=/dev/sr0
while on the other one brasero detects the driver by itself.
Both 'hal' configuration look identical.

Has anybody an idea where the difference might come from?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

I don't have a /dev/sr0, so I don't know what that device is.

My machine has symlinks for /dev/dvdrw and /dev/cdrw pointing to
/dev/hdb, which is the dvd burner, naturally.

Do you have the same symlinks on both machines?  I would check the
contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules to see if they
are the same.  If in doubt, just delete that file and let udev make
a new one on the next reboot.
