Another cdrom driver?? What do you mean?

Sometimes, bugged drives/drivers come to life when you eject just before
it accesses the media.

[Cooker] cdrom detection freeze during mdk8 install

2001-04-24 Thread Matt Van Mater

my installation of mdk8 freezes during the second step when it tries to
detect/initialize my cdrom. (which is a teac 40x or model 504E) mandrake 7.2 
detects the drive fine, but all the mdk8 betas had trouble finding it...  i 
have tried expert/text install mode, but no matter what cdrom driver i tell 
it to use (in the first steps) it still sits there in an endless seek (light 
goes on) when it tries to access the drive.

sorry if i'm not posting correctly i am not familiar with any of your 
standard procedures (if you have any).  i am not on the cooker mailing list, 
so to get more info, you would have to reply to this email to contact me.
