Take a look at /proc/scsi, as well as /sbin/lsmod. You may need an entry in /etc/modules.conf. You could also try disabling supermount on that drive and mounting it by hand. I've seen some mention on main cooker of ill effects using supermount with burners anyway. You could also try booting with devfs disabled, to see if that is driving the problem: devfs=nomount in the yaboot.conf append line Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft OH/TN, USA http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~sbenedict/ PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/PPC/FAQ/ Cooker-PPC IRC: irc.openprojects.net/#cooker-ppc
