I installed Centos 5.2 on a brand new computer the other day.  It has an Asus
DVD RW drive in it which I used to boot the netboot disk off of to install the
operating system so it found the dvd at that point.

Now k3b tells me that it can't find any drives.

cdrecord --scanbus tells me this:

What am I doing wrong here?
