Hi there, On 18 Oct, this message from Debian User Jean-Baptiste Note echoed through cyberspace: > So here's the problem : i've just bought a tibook,

To try that, recompile a kernel with SCSI support, no low-level driver, support for SCSI CDRoms, and SCSI emulation under IDE. Then add this to your kernel commandline: hdc=scsi That should make your drive appear as /dev/sr0. Change any /dev/cdrom aliases you have, and try again. > As far as Audio CDReader is concerned, I get no message, > but the plugin says there's no cd in the drive. Exactly what I got. You are in group cdrom, are you? Note that plain xmms with /dev/dsp output has an endian issue; you only get noise. Using the esd plugin helps (and you obviously need to sart esd ;-).
