trouble with dvd drives

trouble with dvd drives

[Gene Horodecki]

Hi there.. I have a new machine with an AMD Phenom processor and two 
fairly average LG DVD burners.  I've gotten to the point that I seem to 
be able to see both but they are not coming up as writable drives.. I 
have a data DVD in one drive and a blank in the other.

Can anyone help me out?  here is the kvm command I'm using:

/usr/bin/kvm -M pc -m 512 -smp 1 -name fury -monitor pty -localtime 
-boot c -drive file=/v/fury/fury.img,if=scsi,index=0,boot=on -drive 
file=/dev/scd0,if=ide,media=cdrom -drive 
file=/dev/scd1,if=ide,media=cdrom -net 
nic,macaddr=00:16:36:53:18:96,vlan=0 -net 
tap,vlan=0,script=/v/scripts/kvm-ifup -serial pty -parallel none -usb 
-usbdevice tablet -vnc 0.0.0.0:4 -daemonize

AFAIK the IDE device emulation from QEMU only supports up to (incomplete)
DVD-ROM profile, hence why support for writting isn't working.
