[Wylug-help] Input/output error when trying to read an audio CD

[Felix Ulrich-Oltean]

Hi

I'm running Debian unstable, with a 2.4.20 kernel.  I have an LG
DVD-ROM drive (ATAPI IDE).  Reading data CDs works fine, but when I
try to read an audio CD, either with "head /dev/cdrom" or with grip, I
get:

head: error reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error

/dev/cdrom is correctly linked to /dev/hdb, which according to
/var/log/dmesg is the DVD drive, as expected.

I have the following modules loaded:

Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted

Any hints/suggestions?

Thanks,

Felix.
