cdrw and dvdrw not recognized correctly

I have ide cdrw and dvdrw. They are recognized as generic scsi devices - /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1. Why is that? Shouldn't they be /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd?
As a result k3b is not working.

latest kernel26 from current and latest udev

Re: cdrw and dvdrw not recognized correctly

Mine is setup under <code>fstab</code> to be at <code>/dev/cdrom</code>.  Is it creating more than one device node by chance?

It seems that udev is messing things up. I don't know.

You must have "ide-scsi" loaded somewhere, or are using SATA drives.
