I'm getting the same all the time; it seem to be related with the power management (APM) and the CD-ROM reporting is idle or something; maybe the CD-ROM kernel module is not loaded when this happen. Another problem I think it's related: if I run an audio CD with a command tool like cdplay, I can't run all the disc: at a random position in the middle, the CD is stopped. I think the problem is (NOT tested...) the CD-ROM kernel module is unloaded (rmmod from the system cron), and then some "unexpected interrupt" make the rest. I have no problem when using wmcdplay, I think because it need to access the CD drive all the time to show time and status, and the kernel module is not unloaded. Anyway, you can live with this :) -- David
