I have got two CDROM drives on my PC (99 make, P2, 512MB, dualboot- win2k/fedora core1). CDROM1 (read/write) gets recognized but CDROM (read only) just hangs on being accessed.
ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 40X MAXIMUM (hangs!) Samsung CD-R/RW SW-224B. (ok!)
One gets recognized as SCSI drive (samsung, about 2 years old) and is operational.The other drive gets recignized as IDE (ATAPI, about 5 years old). Anything I try simply does not work. The system just hangs and I need to restart. Even saying "eject cdrom" hangs the system.
When I boot with GNOME, it just hangs in the startup screen (on the CDROM icon). KDE allowed me to get in and check out the drives from the shell. I am lost as to what needs to be done next. Any help would be great guys! Thanks!
