First, audio cds are not mountable because they have no filesystem. Second, mandrake 10 uses an automounter for cds called magicdev. If you put a data cd in the drive it should automatically be mounted; eject it and it will automatically unmount. With magicdev running you can't mount a cd using the mount command. Your fstab entry for your cd drive is a little different than mine:
/dev/hda /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
in that you don't have the "umask=0" option. You might try adding that.
As for as your audio cds, try opening up your cd playing program; i believe KsCD is the default app for that and see if you can play and audio cd.
has the umask cmd in there also as you can see.
I am trying to reinstall the Mandrake system altogether because for some reason I can't login as root now (and I just got a new HD so mine as well use it). And I can't even get the CD to show up at all, even thought the machine is set to boot of the CD.
remove codepage and umask i've got an error after compiling a new kernel 2.6.8 , don't know why mandrake use codepage and umask but if you change your kernel you will have problèms with that.
