Thanks for replying!
Forgot to mention, both CD drives were properly on windows 2K (dual boot),
no idea why Linux should find a fault in one CDROM...
Thanks!

Hi,
I have got two CDROM drives on my PC (99 make, P2, 512MB, dualboot-
win2k/fedora core1). CDROM1 (read/write) gets recognized but CDROM (read
only) just hangs on being accessed.
ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 40X MAXIMUM (hangs!)
Samsung CD-R/RW SW-224B. (ok!)
One gets recognized as SCSI drive (samsung, about 2 years old) and is
operational.The other drive gets recignized as IDE (ATAPI, about 5 years
old). Anything I try simply does not work. The system just hangs and I
need
to restart. Even saying "eject cdrom" hangs the system.
When I boot with GNOME, it just hangs in the startup screen (on the CDROM
icon). KDE allowed me to get in and check out the drives from the shell. I
am lost as to what needs to be done next. Any help would be great guys!
Thanks!

Any drive will "hang the system" if it has I/O errors. To check try
mounting from the command line < mount /mnt/cdrom > and if there are I/O
errors they will be output to the terminal.
The CD R/W being seen as scsi indicates a 2.4.x kernel and is needed for
burning.
