    Hi,
    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!

    from dmesg:
    hdb: ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 40X MAXIMUM, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
    blk: queuec040cfc0, I/O limit 4095Mb (mask 0Xffffffff)
    hdb: Disabling (U)DMA for ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE.

    from /etc/fstab:
    /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
    /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

    from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf:
    class: CDROM
    bus: IDE
    detached: 0
    device: hdb
    driver: ignore
    desc: "ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 40X MAXIMUM"
    -
    class: CDROM

    Thanks!
