Even after rebooting, the drive was still going crazy trying to read the |
| 10 |
disc. How can I kill that without rebooting? I had to reboot again just |
| 11 |
to eject the disc between POST and GRUB. |

I think it may be that this particular CD-ROM drive isn't fully supported |
| 14 |
by Gentoo, or somehow Gentoo is using different drivers than Fedora. It's |
| 15 |
a very cheap CD-ROM, but I'd still like to get it functioning correctly. |

I was quite surprised when the CD-RW drive read the disc as I thought |
| 18 |
that I'd tried that before and it had failed. |
