Hi, If the CDROM is plugged in the primary or secondary IDE controller on the motherboard then it would normally be hda-hdd. Since this is what most people do with modern gear, the default devices are only hda-hdd. If you are like me and your CDROM is hanging off a soundcard or add-in card, then hda-hdd isn't enough. If this is your case, you need to add a mount point. I had that problem with my /dev/hde. If this is your case and you need to add a mount point, log in as root: cd /dev ls -l hdh (to see if you already have one) if not ./MAKEDEV -n -v hdh (-v is verbose, -n is "simulate") The above is a dry run; you haven't actually done anything. if the dry run looks good, then ./MAKEDEV -v hdh (for real this time, no -n) Even if this isn't your problem, I don't think it will break anything. I have mount points for /dev/hdc and hdd, and I don't have those devices, so I wouldn't think it would matter. Then you might need to make a link to cdrom: ln -s hde cdrom Good luck! -- Thank you, Joe Bouchard Powered by Debian GNU/Linux
