Oh, thank you all for your input -- I've been a bit obsessed with rails and let this go to the back burner a bit. However, I did notice that when I click on "CDROM" from nautilus there's a message about HAL; again, though, it cannot be a hardware issue as these particular discs and drives work in another distro on the same machine. On boot, and I think shutdown, there are messages about failing to access the CDROM -- this is post POST and after GRUB -- I think; maybe it's on shutdown only. I believe it to be a driver issue (HAL is a hardware driver? Hardware Abstraction Layer? But isn't it more BIOS than OS?). I'll double check things with some data discs on the other distro in the next few days and do some more googling (and wikipedia-ing). If this sheds any light: arrakis ~ # arrakis ~ # dmesg | grep 'cd' ehci_hcd 0000:00:03.3: EHCI Host Controller ehci_hcd 0000:00:03.3: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 ehci_hcd 0000:00:03.3: irq 17, io mem 0xe1102000 ehci_hcd 0000:00:03.3: USB 2.0 started, EHCI 1.00, driver 10 Dec 2004 ohci_hcd: 2006 August 04 USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver (PCI) ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.0: OHCI Host Controller ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2 ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.0: irq 18, io mem 0xe1104000 ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.1: OHCI Host Controller ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.1: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3 ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.1: irq 19, io mem 0xe1100000 ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.2: OHCI Host Controller ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.2: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 4 ohci_hcd 0000:00:03.2: irq 20, io mem 0xe1101000 usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 sl811: driver sl811-hcd, 19 May 2005 arrakis ~ # I think it's more on shutdown that I notice lotsa weird messages about the cdrom drive(s) since futzing with /etc/fstab. thanks, Thufir -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
