Run:
hdparm /dev/scd0
and see what the settings are.

A couple of months ago I bought Mandrake 8.2. Upon 1st installation it bombed, couldn't pick packages. I went to their site and found there was a problem with M 8.2 and some P I's. There was a patch. I installed it with the patch and everything seemed OK after I fixed the plug&play modem.
I also burned 2 CD's of COL 3.1.1 at my kids home in Rene 'cause they have DSL and it took only 10 hours, not 2 weeks at home. When I installed this on another partition it, too, seemed to work OK.
Now my problems. The Mandrake and the 3.1.1 freeze up when I try to use the CDROM RW. The CDROM works fine on eD2.4, evens burns CD's.
And on the Mandrake partition the desktop icon won't start the floppy.
Here is the /etc/fstab of the Mandrake
/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,nosuid,noauto,exec,user,nodev 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,nosuid,user,noauto,nodev,codepage=850,unhide 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one for COL 3.1.1
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5, mode=620 0 0
/proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom oso9660 ro, user, noauto, exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto defaults, user, noauto 0 0
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 1 3
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat ro, 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ext2 defaults 0 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The one foe eD2.4
/dev/hdb3 / ext2 rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw, gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/proc /proc proc rw 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat ro 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1 ext2 rw 0 0
hemus: (pid570) /auto nfs intr,rw,port=1023,timeo=8,retrans=110,indirect,map=/etc/am.d/localdev,dev-00000003 0 0
Is the problem a software problem? Something wrong with the installed default fstab's. They are all different though similar? What if I opied the eD2.4 fstab, corrected for the working partition to the Mandrake and 3.1.1 partitions? Any/all help will be greatly appreciated.
