Hi, I have a problem with CD-ROMs (maybe slightly off-topic, but not completely). There are two CD-ROM drives in my computer, one is ACER labelled " CDRW 6x4x32" and other one is MTRP(TM) 36x, no other label is available. When starting Linux (using kernel 2.6.8.1 on otherwise rather plain vanilla Debian/sarge; see attached exceprt from config file -- is anything missing?) I get this in dmesg: hdc: 6X4X32, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: CD-ROM 36X/AKW, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive So, apparently the drives are recognized (I suppose CDRW is hdc and MTRP is hdc, right?) and I should be fine. Well, /dev/hdc has some mechanical problems with opening (I have to use a pin to make it open), so I prefer /dev/hdd and /dev/cdrom points to it. I CAN mount without problems /dev/cdrom when it contains data CD-ROM, and I can play audio CD (the standard one, not MP3) using buttons on the drive itself, but when trying KSCD (which makes this post hopefully on-topic in this group :-) it does not recognize CD inserted. Also "audiocd:/?device=/dev/hdd" in the command line answers "Cannot read /dev/hdd". Any thoughts?
