So I used redhat for awhile, switched back to windows, then got sick of that so I switched back to linux, this Time mandrake (the newest version, 9.0)

The problem is with grip mostly... I can mount fine and have been doing so on data-cds... audio are run on gnome-cd just fine, however, grip will not run, and when I try to run it through a terminal I get:
Error: unable to initialize /hda/cd-rom
and it will not run grip. I've looked through the forums for awhile and nothing helps so if anyone knows, maybe just a quick easy fix for all I know.
the Cd is Samsung CD-RW, I'm running mandrake using IceWM

I tried running it under root and it came up, but when I try to rip/encode i get a window:

Application "grip" (process 2419) has crashed due to a fatal error (segmentation fault)

I restarted grip, and when i try to simply play the tracks as a cd player, it skips over everyone and doesnt play anything

i would try this

change the device mount on /dev/cdrom to

none mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,mode=444,user,noauto 0 0

good luck
