Can't access music CD's on 2 CD rom drives (Long post)

[Harry G]

Basic info:

Suse 7.3, ext3 file system

2.4.10 kernel (Std. from Suse install)

1 CD reader

1 CD-R

Both using SCSI emulation

Reads data CD's no problem

When trying to run X-CDRoast, which has worked great for almost a year, 
it 
reads the CD, but won't write.  Same with KonCD.  KDE media player, 
XMMS all 
either lock up, or won't play.

Worked fine until that dang multiple power outage over a 4 hour period 
(drained UPS battery, so it shut down hard, restarted later, at least 3 
times. I guess ext3 isn't a cure all).  

When accessing the drives via the desktop icons, with a music CD, I get 
the following error:

"Could not mount device.  The reported error was:  /dev/scd0: 
Input/output 
error mount: I could not determine the file system type, and none was 
specified".

I know that music CD's are not "mountable", but I used to be able to 
see the files this way.  Again, data CD's, no trouble at all.

When I run lsmod, I get:

I see that the following are not there:

ac97_codec ?
cdrom ? ? ? ? ? ?

I have been told these are necessary.  I have another kernel for 
running Win4Lin, but it is about the same.  


Where do I go from here?


Thanks for your patience.
