CD-RW can't see media

[John Macdonald]

I'm running SuSE 9.0, and just tried to burn a CD.
K3b keeps telling me to insert a blank CD, even after
there is one in the drive.  I detects the CD device
type (LG CD-RW CED-8080B), right clicking on the
device give a menu that can successfully eject the
CD as well as an entry "Disk Info" that always says
no disk in drive, even when I put in a non-blank CD
(both ISO or music).  The fact that the eject button
works is odd - I was initially remembering that there
was a problem with having to treat the CD-RW as a
SCSI device, but obviously the right device has been
found for eject to work.

The DVD drive has no problem detecting the contents
of the DVD inserted into it (the SuSE installation
DVD is still in there and K3b can browse through it
folders easily).
