I get no error on mount command. If I mount it manually, then I have something
in /media/cdrom0, but ithe cd is shown by kde as a blank cd, and I can't open
it in Konqueror (see above). If I put a audio cd, or any type of cd it shows
as blank. I put the cd drive on another box, it works fine, I tried an other
cd drive on this box, changing the cable as well: same problem. The cds I
tried are ok on the other box.
Well looking at what I wrote, it looks like a problem on kde/konqueror. Also I
had to install an other box with Etch 4.0r2, and I have the same problem!!!
