[SUSE Linux 9.2 Professional] After the kernel upgrade to 2.6.8-24.10, Grip no longer will rip audio CDs. The Rip: progress indicator only blips for an instant than goes to Idle status. The Enc: progress indicator goes through all the tracks, spending approx 2-3 seconds on each track then finishes as if all was OK. However, no files are generated at all! Some clues: - Syslog has messages: "Dec 29 15:32:35 xxxxx kernel: sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive." - Running strace on Grip shows the following (in one of the threads): "write(20, "Unable to open cdrom drive.\n", 28) = 28" However, the open on /dev/sg0 succeeds earlier in the trace. All of the needed devices have appropriate permissions: - /dev/scd0 - /dev/sg0 I am using Grip's buil-in cdparanoia for ripping. Has anyone else encountered this? Everything was working just fine last week and there have been no hardware changes. I can find no other error messages!?! BTW, this system has all of the 9.2 security patches installed (via YOU). BTW, anyone know of any other audio CD rippers/encoders? Thanks, Phil -- Philip Amadeo Saeli SuSE Linux 9.2 psaeli@zorodyne.com
