Yes, I have googled for much of today. There are a lot of responses,
but I tried to stick to one where it was related to gentoo. Like I
said, there is a symlink that links cdrom to sr0. One of the things I
found when I googled said that they made a symlink to sr0 from cdrom.
That didn't make sense to me so. I didn't try it.
Another post suggested that there was a problem with phonon. Hence, I
emerge an upgrade (albeit unstable) to phonon-gstreamer. In honesty,
one thing I didn't try was writing a udev rule that was suggested.
Call me stubborn, but I've never had to write a rule to get an audio
CD to play before so, I will only do that as a last resort.
I've tried to stay away from posts that were back in 2003 and 2004
'cause they may not be relevant now.
The line in my fstab is:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
Maybe I should have said /dev/sr0?
I may have to keep plugging, but thought I would post in case anyone
else has encountered this problem.
Regards,
Colleen
