Built into my new computer, is a CD with which I can play audio CD's and
burn 'photo's and ISO's on the partition which has 10.2 on it. That
version of Slackware, 10.2 will also read both my slackware DVD and the
DVD of Wedding 'photo's I used to test it. I did with some difficulty get
the DVD to boot in order to install 11, but having installed it I can't
get 11 to either play the audio CD's or read the Slackware DVD. I fully
understand that this is something I haven't done, could someone suggest
what it is please? My fstab for the CD and DVD is as follows:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrw auto noauto,owner 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd auto noauto,user,ro 0 0

The kernel is 2.4.33.3

Having noticed the above phenomena, I vacuum cleaned the DVD ROM, removed
and re-seated the the ribbon cable. Still no luck with the Slackware disk.
However a 'coverdisk' of software does mount and read, the Slackware disk
which mounts on 10.2 and reads eventually reports errors on 11
hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00
hdd: ATAPI reset complete
hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00
hdd: ATAPI reset complete
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40 (hdd), sector 9193876

This is just the tail end of a huge number of errors including numbers of
errors with consecutive Nos. as this sector No. XX tray open when it
isn't.
