Understood.

My thought was that checking for audio playback might give Siri some 
useful information as to whether it was a hardware problem vs a software 
problem.  She states she has the same problem with two different distros 
on different partitions. Normally the CDROM drive autodetects ok, at 
least in my limited experience. The burner can be an issue but the CDR 
portion should not be. So isn't it at least possible that there is 
nothing wrong with the configuration of Kanotix or the other distro,  it 
is just a bad drive, or perhaps the drive is incorrectly jumpered?
