Here's the latest. Any hints are appreciated.

Thanks.

I have put in a new DVD drive that I know works. I still get the same
output for cdrecord -scanbus
I tried puting a printed CD into the drive. It was not automatically mounted.

In K3b I tried to burn a DVD using media that I know works. It
recognized the drive but gave me an error message like this:
Starting writing...

Fatal error at startup: Resource temporarily unavailable

Debugging info looks like this:
