cdrom I/O errors

[Wesley Leonard <marshall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey gang...  I recently discovered that when I use cdp (or cdplay, some
program) I get the following error:

[marshall@optimus marshall]$ cdplay
CDROMPLAYTRKIND: Input/output error


It's strange because it worked OK before...  it's a nearly new cdrom
drive (I have used cdplay on it before, though) so I don't think the
drive is bad.  


[marshall@optimus marshall]$ uname -a
Linux optimus.prime 2.2.12-20 #1 Mon Sep 27 10:25:54 EDT 1999 i586
unknown

As you can see, I'm running kernel 2.2.12-20.  I've heard of various IDE
bugs in the 2.2 kernels.  Do you think I should upgrade the kernel and
see if that fixes it?

Any other suggestions?  I tried running cdp as root and that didn't work
either (thinking it might be a permission problem...).

I can still play CDs with the play/skip button on the drive but that
doesn't help my cron job that should be waking me up every morning by
blasting Led Zeppelin...
