Just doubled checked my machine. Works fine.
Btw, I just did an install on another box. Had a CD on ide1 as primary and
a CDRW on the same cable as secondary. After installing Mandrake-Linux and
during the check out procedures I see that in KDE two cd-Rom icons, Cd-rom
and Cd-Rom2. Clicking on the cd-rom icon brings up the data window and will
also play cd-music. Clicking on the Cd-Rom2 gets a blank window or an error
message window that the data can't be displayed.
A look in /dev shows that the cd-Rom is correctly linked, @cdrom->hdc.
There is also a cdrom1, linked , @cdrom1->/dev/hdd. The @cdrom2->hdd is
also linked to hdd. Anyway to get the cd-rom2 icon the properly open and
read and display the second cd-rom, which is the CDRW we had to edit the
link in /dev/@cdrom2->hdd to @cdrom2->scd0. Now that it is correctly
linked all is working fine.
You have, I'm guessing that both cd's are on the same cable, set the dip
switches to the correct master or slave settings??
