i have this weird problem with my DVD-ROM. i can only mount it when there is media in it & when i mount it, i can't eject the CD & change it another one. every time i want to change the CD or DVD i have to umount & then mount again! i didn't notice it before, so can you help me with this problem
& something else. when i try to play DVDs with MPlayer or XINE , it's not working. i get the message that the player can't read /dev/cdrom where my DVD is mounted!
well before i was using Mandrake 9.1 & i didn't have this problem. but when i switched to Slackware 9.1 i didn't know why it is different.
i hope this makes sense!
