I have an issue with one CD burner and not the other.

as root do:

#lshal < lshal-no-media.txt

with no media in the drive
then insert a blank media then do:

#lshal < lshal-with-media.txt

then do:

#diff lshal-no-media.txt lshal-with-media.txt

You should have some difference between those two files.  If there is no
difference your problem is with hal.

I still haven't totally tracked who's responsible for hal but, at least
there's a start.

Best,
