Well, I am running 2 DVD-RW - I forget the brands, but they show up
in dmesg as:
TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S202G
DVDRW DRW-5S163

They will both auto-mount CDs and DVDs. But this is with F8, so I do
not know if that helps with FC2.

One other thing to keep in mind when testing - some systems will not
boot from CD if there are 2 CD/DVD drives in the system at the same
time. I think it is getting kind of rare now, but I do run into it
once in a while.

I hope this helps...
