Occasionally :)

And which I might add, is still available!  From dmesg:

[root at coyote opt]# dmesg|grep LITE-ON
[   37.478169] ata2.00: ATAPI: LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S, HS06, max UDMA/66
[   37.771121] scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM            LITE-ON  DVDRW SHM-165H6S HS06 
PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
[root at coyote opt]# dmesg|grep sr0
[   42.199415] sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer dvd-ram cd/rw xa/form2 
cdda tray
[   42.199483] sr 1:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0

So why cannot 4L-cli or 4L-gui, find it?

>From the help pages on the LaCie site, it shows the response to this command:
[root at coyote opt]# 4L-cli enumerate
Using /etc/lightscribe.rc

as outputting a very complete list of resources including the drive it will 
use, the above is all I get, and that file contains only:
-------------
ResourceDir=/usr/lib/lightscribe/res;
UpdateScriptDir=/usr/lib/lightscribe/updates;
-------------

Here, /dev/dvd is a softlink to /dev/scd0, and despite the dmesg quote above, 
there indeed is not a /dev/sr0!

Not only that, but:
[root at coyote opt]# MAKEDEV sr0
don't know how to make device "sr0"

But, a link from scd0 to sr0 appears to make it work. And I forgot the -s, so 
its a hardlink, which I assume will vanish on a reboot.

This points to a udev error IMO.  How is that best fixed?

Greg, this is an uptodate FC6 x86 system running 2.6.24-rc6 configured for all 
libata drive access, so everything is scsi now if that helps.
