This seems silly to me, but I happen to have a Pioneer DVD-115 and a Yamaha 8/8/16.
Again, it seems like you're missing this. Supermount worked perfectly on this exact hardware with 8.2. As soon as 9.0 was installed, certain CDs could not be read by supermount. Lots of testing showed this to be consistant with those certain CDs. Disabling supermount immediately allowed the CDs to be read. Two of the biggest offending CDs were Loki's Kohan and LGP's Creatures 3. I also had grief reading Baldur's Gate using WineX 2.1 and Microsoft Office using Codeweaver's Crossover Office. There is a large audience claiming problems with 9.0's supermount. Just because supermount is working in 8.2 does not mean it is working perfectly in 9.0. And again, for normal day-to-day small tasks it works fine. Even browsing the CDs that give me grief works fine. It's not until a lot of work is done with the CDs (for example trying to install the program) that the problem shows up. It's about half-way through, I'd guess. And then the CD becomes unreadable. Transgaming has warnings about Mandrake 9.0's supermount in their WineX 2.2 release as well for further evidence.
