I was trying to mount an audio CD on Gentoo this morning… that was the problem. Audio CDs don’t actually mount. You use an app like Amarok that can play the stuff on it, or something that can read directly from the cdrom.
It was confusing because I was able to slip it into Ubuntu and get a viewable folder containing the audio on the CD. I think that’s pretty confusing if it isn’t actually mounted. But it works.
Now if only I could figure out automounting (not autoplay). I have udev/hal installed and I’ve added myself to the plugdev group as the manual says for automount support, but it seems not to work. I may try writing in some udev rules like it got USB to work, but I’ll read into it more later.
