[paranoia] cdrom is mysteriously inaccessible

[foofoo at ccs.neu.edu]

Hi! I've been using cdparanoia for a while now, and it's just a great app. Just
now, though, I was trying to rip one of my CD's, and cdparanoia seems to be
having problems with my drive; if you have any suggestions or ideas, I'd be
really grateful.

I've just recently acquired an IDE Philips DVD burner (+RW-D01) and finally got
it configured with ide-scsi support. It corresponds to scd0 now. I've added my
primary user to the cdrom group, so I believe it should have no problem with
/dev/cdrom. I noticed that cdda2wav had no problem. Also, if I run cdparanoia as
root, there is no problem. When I run it as the primary user, I get the
following error:

/dev/cdrom exists but isn't accessible.  By default,
cdparanoia stops searching for an accessible drive here.
Consider using -sv to force a more complete autosense
of the machine.

More information about /dev/cdrom:
Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
        Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface
                /dev/scd0 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
        Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface
                No generic SCSI device found to match CDROM device /dev/scd0

If you have any thoughts on the matter, please let me know. Thanks so much for a
great program!

Peace,
John Brooks.
