Hi everybody,
the problem I already reported for earlier release candidates of kernel 2.6.20
(rc1 – 5) unfortunately stills persists.

The regression has become more extreme: While in earlier release candidates nerolinux recognized my burning devices at least after the first start and then never again after all following starts the situation in rc6 is different from that:

The CD and DVD burning devices aren´t recognized even once and the drive seek errors I already reported are still there.

nerolinux runs excellently with kernel 2.6.19.2, but only shows an “image recorder” (i. e. no burning device at all) in kernel 2.6.20-rc6.

Still hope that this terrible bug will not be part of the final version of 2.6.20!

Regards

Uwe

P. S.: I already reported that 2.6.20-rc4-mm1 is not bootable at all.
