I have what I think is an odd problem running testing with kernal 2.6.x.

If I place a data CD or movie DVD in my drive it is found and I can mount it
with no problem.

When I put in an audio CD however it is not seen. None of the players or
music rippers (grip or cdparanoia) find the disk.

Is there some step I have missed?

Works fine.

Do you use the correct device? Are the permissions correct? Does cdplay
work?

I don't know if this is the case, but what happens if you place a
copy-protected audio CD in a current CD-ROM reader on a computer? From
what I've been reading, they won't play (I stopped buying CDs because
the manufacturers don't always tell you if they are copy protected or
not, so I can't test this)!

Have you tried this with an audio CD that you know is NOT copy protected?

If you do not mount (no automounter), it should play. I never had a
problem.

It worked under the 2.4 kernal. I ripped this CD once before for my
portable player so I know it should work. I believe the permissions are
correct. I do not have the cdplay package but the other cd players I have
fail to find the disk or come back with drive error.

This machine had two drives previously. A ROM and a burner. At some point I
robbed it of the ROM for another machine and left the burner. For some
reason, even with the links pointing to the proper drive and proper
permissions set something would just not accept the hdd instead of hdc. I
put the ROM drive back in as hdc and now all is well.
