Re: cd player not working

first, scan thru /var/log/messages, looking for the announcement during bootup that your cdrom was found, and note its device name-- it's probably something like /dev/hdb or /dev/hdc (unless it's a SCSI device)

then make sure there's a soft link to that device from /dev/cdrom. If not, login as root & create it. For instance:

       cd /dev
       ln -s hdc cdrom

double check like this:

       file /dev/cdrom

the response should be something like:

       /dev/cdrom: symbolic link to 'hdc'
