By not being able to access, do you mean that they won't play? If so I have
this symptom too. Under KDE the cd player reports that the cd is 'ejecting'
when the play button is pressed.

It's an ATAPI IDE cdrom drive running with UDMA33

Cheers,

Jim

Did you by any chance install automount ?
It nukes the direct hardware access.
Ie., your basic CD reading with xmms or other.
Actually, it only mounts the cdrom for itself, and monitors it. As audio CDs
are not a valid filesystem, it does nothing. But keeps the hadware, just in
case
a real CD appears.

A nice toy, but the price is a bit high.
Plus, I don't really see how you can have decent caching with automount.

Just drop it (automount).

Cheers.

1. Mandrake 7.1 vs Mandrake 7.2 ?

: What are the major differences ?

: Which do you like better ?

IMO 7.1 was considerably more polished and stable, in my experience at
least, but it included what now seem like horribly outdated versions
of everything, even though they were pretty current at the time of its
release.

I expect a new distro today to have kernel 2.4.x, glibc 2.2 or later,
XFree86 4.02 or later, a *working* gcc, KDE 2.1, and a very recent
version of Gnome.  SuSE 7.1 has all these, as will Mandrake 8.0, to
the best of my knowledge.
