RedHat 6.1 to 7.2 upgrade

[Marlin]

I Just upgraded and all went well except now the cd drive doesn't mount audio CD's. I have sound and the drive will mount a data cd. Help.

I've found, that if you 'mount' a cd, the OS is looking at it as a data cd, not an Audio cd. Could that be the problem? If your cd drive is say /dev/hdc for example, and you issue the command umount /dev/hdc from the console, then will the cd player program play the thing? Also, the jump from 6.x to 7.x versions is pretty substantial. I've found that if you have the hd space... Sometimes, it isn't a bad idea to custom partition and build a partition of a gig or two, and mount it as /Mystuff , or whatever you like. Then you can store your data that is important to you, in case you wish to do complete installs, instead of os upgrades. You just tell the installer not to format that partiton, when you are ready to do a completely new install.

Thanks for the reply. I just did a fresh install and that took care of the problem. However the cd player still gives error msg. Wrong fs type, but this is only in KDE. It plays fine in Gnome. Also I forgot to say the drive is a memorex cd/rw. This isn't really a problem since I don't use KDE anyway. Just bugs me to know something doesn't work. Thanks again.
