[TriLUG] Will the questions never stop? (Mandrake CD/Supermount)

[Chris Knowles]

So, I'm jazzed on this Mandrake 9.0 install.  (which since it's 9.0
_has_ to be better that paltry 8.0... :)

However, there are some rough edges.  (Not as many as in the Beta, but
still)

Specifically, I have 2 CD-ROM drives.  (both IDE, on the same chain,
first /dev/hdc is a CD Read, and /dev/scd0 is a CD-RW)

Now, when I go to the file browser in Gnome or KDE, the first CD drive
freaks out if there isn't a CD in the drive.  (Keeps sounding like it's
trying to access)  This will go one for ~1-2 minutes, freezing the file
browser, and annoying me.  If during this I put a CD in the drive, it
figures things out and all is well, and if there was a CD in the drive
to begin with it doesn't even bat an eye.

If you can be of any help it would be appreciated.
