Which version of k3b are you using?  I've upgraded all the KDE tools.
Mandrake club has upgraded versions of all the KDE tools which might
help.

&gt; A patch that was introduced into the kernel shortly before the 2.6.8 
&gt; release makes K3b and also the dvd+rw-tools unusable on Linux (unless 
&gt; run as root but that is not recommended). The very important GET 
&gt; CONFIGURATION MMC command is rejected by the kernel for reasons I
cannot 
&gt; see and writing commands like MODE SELECT also fail (K3b cannot detect

&gt; CD writers without it) even when the device is opened O_RDWR. Until
this 
&gt; issue has been solved I strongly recommend to stick to kernel version 
&gt; 2.6.7.
&gt; 
&gt; Update: The kernel guys are currently fixing the problem so the next 
&gt; kernel release should work again. :)
&gt; 
&gt; Update 2: The problem is NOT fixed in 2.6.8.1
&gt; 
&gt; Update 3: Be aware that kernel 2.6.8 also contains the memory leak
which 
&gt; makes it impossible to write audio cds, even as root.&quot;
&gt; 
&gt; I use mandrake 10.1 and upgraded to kernel 2.6.8.1-12mdk.
&gt; I also had to change the permissions on /dev/cdrom - /dev/dvd to let
me 
&gt; use it. originaly, only root had access to it.
&gt; 
&gt; My 2 cents.
&gt; 
Kernel 2.6.8.1-10 and 2.6.8.1-12 both from Mandrake don't solve the
problem.  Reverting to the last kernel I had for Mandrake 10.0
(2.6.3-19mdk) and rebooting gives me a working k3b.  Rebooting again
with the 2.6.8.1-10 or 2.6.8.1-12 kernels gives me a non-working k3b.
I'd say this is a problem with the 2.6.8.1 kernels.  I guess Mandrake
doesn't do a very good job of testing the functionality of their kernel
updates!!!
