If your CDROM is really the second drive (slave) on the primary controller, Linux should autodetect it fine. However, try "hdb=cdrom" on the boot command line (press Shift at the LILO prompt, type "Linux hdb=cdrom", etc). The Linux ATAPI CD-ROM driver is pretty generic but doesn't seem to like the Creative drives too much. I have a CR-821E which works okay but causes some nasty problems occasionally. Mine's also faulty so hopefully I'll replacing it with a Panasonic one pretty soon. hamish -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
