... so, how am I supposed to use "copy cd" feature? =) I don't have two
separate cdrom units (one burner and one reader)...

Exactly.

Mmmh... I've been reading that hdx=ide-scsi is not advisable on 2.6.x
kernels. So, I thought there should be some other way.

Yes -- well, at least, sort of:

==========
cdrdao disk-info --driver generic-mmc-raw --device ATA:1,0,0 
Cdrdao version 1.1.8 - (C) Andreas Mueller <andreas at daneb.de>

Check http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/drives.html#dt for current driver
tables.

That data below may not reflect the real status of the inserted medium
if a simulation run was performed before. Reload the medium in this
case.

CD-RW                : no
Total Capacity       : n/a
CD-R medium          : n/a
Recording Speed      : n/a
CD-R empty           : no
Toc Type             : CD-DA or CD-ROM
Sessions             : 1
Last Track           : 1
Appendable           : no
==========

cdrdao did not get all information from the disk (like total capacity).
Still, it is reading the device:

cdda2wav works just fine, and it doesn't even need extra parameters.

> Have you run the k3b-setup proggy?

Yes. It can't seem to correctly identify this unit's specs, though
(like max recording speed etc.). xcdroast does it just fine.

> Does k3b give you any messages at all on startup?

Yes, it always complains it could not determine max recording speed and
asks me to define it manually.

Best,
