Hi, I installed the gcd package and I was able to play music CDs that way. However, when gcd is running and there's no disc in the drive, I get a constant stream of the following in the logs:
Sep 4 02:20:08 kronstadt kernel: ATAPI device hdc: Sep 4 02:20:08 kronstadt kernel: Unknown Error Type: (reserved) -- (Sense key=0x08) Sep 4 02:20:08 kronstadt kernel: (reserved error code) -- (asc=0x08, ascq=0x08) Sep 4 02:20:08 kronstadt kernel: The failed "Read Subchannel" packet command was: Sep 4 02:20:08 kronstadt kernel: "42 02 40 01 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 " This is repeated every second, exactly the same values :-( I am now scared to play even though is seems to "work", because I remember that my previous CD-ROM drive (also IDE/ATAPI) stopped working (for music _and_ data) shortly after I installed another audio disc player (a text/curses based one) with similar symptoms. The drive works perfectly for reading filesystem data. -- Ian Zimmerman, Oakland, California, U.S.A. In his own soul a man bears the source from which he draws all his sorrows and his joys.
