It is because the module/kernel/BIOS is expecting write access to the device. Possibly change fstab/mtab in the /etc/ and initrc /etc/ directory to "r" instead or "rw" would eliminate the error. I've actually made an IDE HD disk read-only with the same error message, but it ran fine after receiving the error....it is just not what the system expects. -- ~Lynn Avants aka Guitarlynn guitarlynn at users.sourceforge.net http://leaf.sourceforge.net If linux isn't the answer, you've probably got the wrong question! ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
