I had this same problem with RH 7.2 (didn't have it with 7.1). The problem
seemed to be that the cdrom module did not automatically load on bootup. You
can check this with a 'lsmod', and see if 'cdrom' is listed.

I fixed this by inserting the following into /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

---------------------------- cut here ------------------------------
# Add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, if necessary (cdrom module won't load).


MODULE=cdrom
INSTALLED=`/sbin/lsmod | grep "$MODULE"`

if [ -z "$INSTALLED" ]  # Not installed.
then
  /sbin/insmod "$MODULE"
fi
---------------------------- cut here ------------------------------

Kinda kludgy, but it works.

For me, /sbin/sndconfig (as root, of course) set it up fine.



Hope this helps.
