I am running SuSE 9.3 professional on a Dell Inspiron 9300. The machine
is a dual boot with Windows XP. Everything works great, except, I am
unable to mount or play audio or data cd's/DVD's.
What Works:
I can install from the SUSE DVD via YAST. Once the SuSE DVD is mounted
by Yast I can access it.
I can also burn CD's
What Doesn't work
I can't mount a cd and none of the audio apps will play an audio CD. I
get a variety of errors including "Drive Error" and "No Media" (or
something like that.
I've tried all of the CD's and DVD's in Windows XP on this same machine,
same drive and all work.
I've Tried mounting /dev/cdrom as root. It seems to work but when
opening the device I get the no media message (Not true, there is good
media in the drive).
Since I know the CD's, DVD's and drive are all ok, it must be a
configuration problem, but I can't grok it (forgive the antiquated
expression, I'm old). And before anyone asks, yes, I have tried
changing permissions.
Thoughts, wild A**ed ideas, help of any kind.
