/dev/cdrom which is most probably hanging--attached to nothing Your drives under ide-scsi are /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 And you need to set up /etc/fstab entries and also the /dev/cdrom link /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 and a second entry for the other CD drive with say /mnt/cdrom1 and /dev/scd1 and erase the previous entry or better comment it out for the CD drive. the one where it says dev=/dev/hdb Finally in a terminal as root, the ONE drive where you want to play audio CDs ln -fs /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom Yep select one drive for audios and make sure you have the audio cable from that drive to the sound card, and link that one to /dev/cdrom so the players can find it.
