It's not a really weird hardware problem with the drive, because I can boot into my old FC1 system and CD's work fine there.Oh, by the way, this is an FC3 system with a planet CCRMA kernel. It might not be a Fedora issue.
Do you still have a Fedora kernel on your system? Can you try booting from the emergency disk and giving it a try?
