Why is this occurring?
try using the real device instead of /dev/cdrom e.g. /dev/hdd or /dev/sdb or whatever the device is. what kind of controller is the cdrom connected to? sounds like a driver for your controller was not loaded or was not available making the drive inaccessable. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
