It seems strange to me that dmesg is not showing any cd-rom device. Make sure that it is indeed plugged in and determine where on the bus it is. hda = primary channel master hdb = primary channel slave hdc = secondary channel master and hdd = secondary channel slave. Then try changing your /etc/fstab line for the cdrom to: /dev/hdx /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0 where x = the letter b,c,or d from above. If you can't mount the cdrom device afer rebooting, check dmesg for messages re: the hdx. If none of this helps, your kernel is probably missing cdrom support. check your kernel config again and get back to the list. Sorry I can't be of more help but the "/dev/crom/crom0" from your orriginal post smacked of a typo. Beyond this, I'm lost. Anyone else have some help for Redmond? -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
