sym links to the same device. Something was setup wrong during install.
By any chance did you pick a security setting other than "low" during
install? I noticed that anything above low (medium, high) supposedly
restricts the devices to specific groups (which in MHO doesn't work too
well). Most of my problems (sound related) went away when I changed
security back to low.

Seems like yours is not a simple case. This surpasses my knowledge.
It seems you have two links to two mount point of type /dev/cdromx. where x is
a number. Do you have more than one CD-R/DVD/CD-RW Drive? If so, the player
must know which one to use.

Ethan,
What is the result of a:
demsg | grep cdrom
and a
ls -la /dev/cdrom?
Don't forget the question mark.

Ethan,
I have had the exact same problem and have finally solved it.
Anyone please feel free to correct or suggest a better way of doing this.
Try the following:
1. log in as root (in a KDE (or any other) X session, I'll assume KDE for KMixer).
2. unmount the cdrom (just in case, and do as Sridhar indicated):
umount /mnt/cdrom
Do it twice to make sure it is not mounted. Make sure ypu have no
CD in the drive.
done.
3. Do a "ls -la /dev/hdc" to make sure it's there
4. If it is, you must now set a sym link from /dev/cdrom (which your player needs) to
the "/dev/hdc" which is the device that you know works because the /mnt/cdrom is also the
mountpoint of the /dev/hdc device and that work ed for you. We will do the same for "/dev/cdrom"
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
[root@Echelon dev]# ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
ln: `/dev/cdrom': File exists
5. Now make a "ls -la /dev/cdrom" to check the link. You should see that the permissions will
enable anyone to use this mount point.
6. Place a CD and fire up your CD player. You should now have music.
Still get permissions error.
BTW, what does blinking white text over red background mean ??
i get:cdrom@
[root@Echelon dev]# ls -l cdrom
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 16 Nov 17 2001 [cdrom -> ../cdroms/cdrom0 ] <---- blinking white over red background....
7. If you don't, fire up your KMixer and make sure the volume is up. Do the same for
your speakers. If this does not work, you are out of luck. See below for more hints**
8. As suming you got this far and all is ok, then change the access for the CDROM.
Do a "chmod 666 /dev/hdc".The "ls -la /dev/hdc" should confirm the changes.
9. log out of root
10. Login as a user
11. Fire up your CDPlayer (and KMixer) and enjoy.
**
Ok. If you did not make it, you have to make sure your sound card is ok (only works if
you have the sound card connected directlly to your CD Drive). Place a CD in the drive,
press the drive's play button. Launch the KMixer. Twiddle with the KMixer's volume and
speaker's volume to check for sound. Works, ok no major hardware problem.
Next. Test the cards driver. Here someone may help me. How can we do this. I have an
ISA sound card ad used RedHat's sndconfig. After probing and set-up, this utility samples
two files. You should here the sound. Any other way to do this?
I got my CDPlayer working thanx to DaveF who is a Mandrake expert
(see http://www.mandrakeexpert.com ).
If all else fails, try creating an incident here.
HTH,
Hugo.

Not being well versed in command line I use theplayers I installed on the KDE desktop so am not shure how you use anaudio player from command line. But if you use KDE click on thekpanel>multimedia>sound and pick alsaplayer and then click on thefolder icon on the left of the gui and your CD should start. HTH
I am using CD player from the KDE>multimedia option. Not using from thecommand line. It does _not_ work.... like I said, it gives the errorabove. pls help. thanks, /ethan
Make sure that the CD-ROM drive is not mounted, as has been mentioned
above.
Supermount shouldn't give any trouble, but sometimes it helps to disable
it.
