Now, I have another problem. What is wrong with cdtool? Each time I try to play a cd, I get this:
cdplay: can't play no disc
This is not true, as I have just inserted a professionally produced cd into the drive before doing this. Why will
I suspect your /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd symlinks aren't being established properly. My CD drive is /dev/hdc and my DVD drive is /dev/hdd. So I end up doing something like cdplay -d /dev/hdc to play a CD, and that works. I could establish my symlinks manually: ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom I'm a bit leary of doing that, since /dev is automatically constructed by udev, I think.
I bet udev or a boot script is supposed to be adding the /dev/cdrom symlinks, but it isn't. At least the above is true for my machine.
