To follow up, a more recent attempt at mounting a cd yielded this in /var/log/messages: Feb 24 21:23:38 spasm kernel: iBCS: socksys registered on character major 30 Feb 24 21:38:21 spasm kernel: SCSI error: host 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 280000 02 Feb 24 21:38:21 spasm kernel: ^ISense class 7, sense error 0, extended sense 4 Feb 24 21:38:21 spasm kernel: SCSI error: host 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 280000 02 Feb 24 21:38:21 spasm kernel: ^ISense class 7, sense error 0, extended sense 4 Feb 24 21:38:21 spasm kernel: CD-ROM I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 64 Feb 24 21:38:21 spasm kernel: isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev 0b:00 iso_blkn um 16 block 32 Feb 24 21:38:21 spasm kernel: SCSI error: host 0 id 3 lun 0 return code = 280000 02 Feb 24 21:38:21 spasm kernel: ^ISense class 7, sense error 0, extended sense 4 Are these indications of a hardware problem? I'd hate to yank out the drive and take it to the vendor, only to have him give it a clean bill of health. Reading through c.o.l.hardware, one other person reported similar-sounding errors using a different SCSI controller and CD drive, and also version 1.2 of the OS. They said that older OS versions had no problems. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
