You can run an rpm -V on those packages to see if they have changed since install. With Linux, it is usually the user config files that get messed up and not the files only root can write to mess up.
Since an audiocd is not mountable, it may disappear (have never watched it), but it shouldn't eject. Are there any pertinent messages in /var/log/messages?
Perhaps the automounter, which realizes it cannot automount but instead runs a program. Have you checked your automounter settings (assuming KDE) at Configure Desktop (Personal Settings), Peripherals, Storage Media, under Medium Types, choose Audio CD. What are the choices there? It hasn't by any chance somehow got eject there does it?
Is it a possible hardware problem. It doesn't sound like it, but if acpi or apic were a problem, then anything is possible I guess. It definitely makes things more interesting to troubleshoot.
Thanks for the reply. Well for the rpm -V all I got is on libxine1 S.5....T d /usr/share/man5/xine.5.gz I assume that is adding or deleting some man pages. All the others I know about came back with no messages. Didn't see a darn thing in /var/log/messages that looked like CDROM problems Took a peek in the KDE personal settings. Audio CD had a list of applications/options: open in a new window. extract and encode audio tracks, Extract digital audio with K3b, Copy CD with K3b, Play audio CD with Kaffeine and do nothing. None of them were checked as default. The properties button was greyed out no matter what I clicked on. That seems kind of strange. The advanced tab had enable HAL backend and enable CD polling checked and greyed out. It had enable media autostart checked. For grins back in the Notification tab, I checked the do nothing option as default and tried again. It didn't bring up an options window. It didn't start any applications. So far so good. Then the CD ejects. I also played with the enable media autostart checkbox. Same thing. This time just in case it was APIC, I had booted with the NOAPIC option. Now here's something really bizarre, if I put an audio CD in the CD recorder, everything works hunky dory. Kaffeine has no problem with it. Moving and grooving as I type. Same blankety blank blank CD. Go figure. It is beginning to look like a problem with the CDROM.
