CDROMS Not Reading Certain CDs

[Howard Gibson]

   My computer came with an ATAPI CD-ROM which has worked perfectly to date.  Since then, I have added a CD-RW, a Yamaha CDRW6416S, running from a SCSI card.  CD recording works fine.  It reads most commercial CDs without problems.  It does not read its own recorded CDs, although my CD-ROM works fine.

   I am now hacking with a second hand PIII/733, and I am having possibly the same problem.  I can boot Fedora_2 from the Linux Bible, but then the program announces it cannot find the Fedora Core CD in any of my CDROM drives.  My old Red Hat_8 CD seems to work fine.  My CD-RW will not read the Fedora_2 CD either.

   The only thing I can find in common about the two CD_ROMs is that neither is connected to a sound card.  Does this make sense to anyone?
