Xmas and a family "rolling upgrade" find me trying to get comfortable on a new box (RH 7.2). I've currently got a scsi cdrom and it's unable to rip from an audio CD. The problem appears to be "/dev/scd0 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM" Any suggestions (esp. explicit handholding) would be appreciated. If I have to I can swap in an IDE drive, but I'd like to avoid it. Here's an abbreviated list of what I get from 'grip -v' [steve@gemini steve]$ grip -v Checking for a new disc Drive status is 4 audio status is 21 Drive status is 4 audio status is 21 CDStat found a disc, checking tracks We have a valid disc! Drive status is 4 audio status is 21 ... In RipNextTrack First checked track is 1 Ripping away!
