kscd not finding CD-ROM



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?

Microwave oven?  Whaddya mean, it's a microwave oven?  I've been
