Any idea how I can fix/avoid/rectify this behavior of the ripper?  (see 
explanation below)

Thanks.

OK ...  So, I followed the instructions for being able to burn CDs, 
which required that I add the line

        append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"

to my '/etc/lilo.conf' and the line

        options ide-cd ignore='hdc hdd'

to my '/etc/modules.conf' ...

As a result, my 2 CD-ROM drives are no longer /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd, 
instead they are /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 ...  I changed the /dev/cdrom 
and /dev/cdrom1 links to point to the 'scd*' devices, and 'grip' is 
happy, to a point -- it comes up, realizes that it has a CD in the 
device, displays the CD track info, and allows me to play CDs (now that 
I've realized that it's playing through the headphone jack on the player).

However, when I try to rip, I get the following message:

        Unable to open cdrom drive; -v will give more information.

Running with '-v' doesn't give me any more info.  Since this was using 
the build-in 'cdparanoia', I tried 'cdda2wav' and 'cdparanoia' 
standalone, but the result was the same (actually, it was worse -- I no 
longer get that message, but nothing gets ripped, although 'grip' thinks 
that ripping was successful).

Anyway, so I ran 'cdparanoia' standalone using the command line that 
'grip -v' told me it was running, and got the following:

        cdparanoia III release 9.7 (December 13, 1999)
        (C) 1999 Monty  and Xiphophorus

        Checking /dev/cdrom1 for cdrom...
                Testing /dev/cdrom1 for cooked ioctl() interface
                        /dev/scd1 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
                Testing /dev/cdrom1 for SCSI interface
                        No generic SCSI device found to match CDROM device /dev/scd1

So.  Now I'm stuck.  I have a feeling I did something wrong, but I'm not 
sure what or how to fix it ...  I guess I could go back to the original 
configuration, but then I'm back to square one and won't be able to burn 
CDs ...

Anyone have any words of wisdom?

Thanks.
