John,
Thank you for your mail.
There may be a number of deviations between our software systems. I am
assuming Mandrake 9.0.
Would you kindly send me your /etc/lilo.conf file to examine. While you
clearly find your cdroms, there may be an inconsistency.

Anne,
mtab should be dynamic, written by the system, based on mounted
partitions/drives.
To verify this, open a terminal window and su to root. Presuming that
your LS120 is mounted: Open /etc/mtab and take a look at how it lists
your LS120. Close the file, making no changes. Next, make a copy
Anne,
Having fiddled with mtab my supermount works well. Whether that is mere
luck or otherwise I don't know. However, while fiddling I had a box pop
up referring to no entry in mtab.
You may notice the 'ro' read only and 'rw' read write in the cdrom lines
in mtab.
Prior to doing all of this, I
Charlie,
My /etc/mtab file would appear to be static, with a constant content as
follows:-
/dev/hdb5 / ext3 rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /dev devfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdb6 /home ext3 rw 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount
Alex,
Thank you for your kind input. My cdrom and cdrw now work under
ide-emulation and also my reader works correctly in supermount.
After much fiddling I changed mtab and it seemed to come together. The
respective files for this are as follows:-
/etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
vga=normal
Anne,
I apologise I did not make myself sufficiently clear.
When I stated that It will enable you to burn 'on the fly', which can
have advantages in your working 'although not audio) ; I should have
stated that the disadvantage is that I cannot burn audio on the fly. I
can play music as before!

The problem referred to is now resolved and think it may be worthwhile
examining the following three files making allowances for your hd scd

advantages in your working 'although not audio).

Do you mean that I have to choose between burning on the fly and being able to
listen to cds? If so, I'll stick with the music. I want that much more
often :)

Thank you for your message. I had rather assumed that the cdrom reader
could be either used by XCDRoast, or in normal usage, not both.
Having received your mail I had another look and found conflicts in mtab

I find that very odd. I wondered at first if it was because you were using
'auto' mounting, not supermount, as I do. But then I realised that my
LS120 drive is set up to mount the way you do, and my mtab has the

Thank you for your comments.
I can work the reader for XCDRoast if the cd reader is in scsi emulation
form, but the trouble is it will not operate as a normal cd reader for
other purposes.
In view of this I shall take your advice and drop emulation for the
reader and resort to the 'command
Alex,
Yes, thank you it works!
However, the cost is to loose my normal cd reader function and this is a
high price. It will pay me to go to the 'command line' when needed.
A pity there seems no way around this?
I really thank you for your input.

On the other hand, you could take my solution - I use the cd-rw as both reader
and writer. I have to burn an image if I want a copy, but for most purposes
it causes me no problems whatsoever.

Yes.
For xcdroast to see the cdrom he needs to add an idex=ide-scsi append for it.
If he does not wish to do that he can use k3b which does not require it.
