The delay's my fault, and you're being helpful, I would be ungrateful indeed (and very silly) if I complained about minor repetitions. :) Having said that, as you may notice from my reply to Lawson, running depmod seems to have changed things somewhat in that mount now works and X-CD-Roast doesn't.

Well, (apparently) as a result of running depmod, I can now mount /mnt/cdrom even though /sbin/lsmod does *not* show sr_mod to be loaded. sg, scsi_mod and ide-scsi are loaded. /sbin/insmod sr_mod scd0 works (i.e. sr_mod appears in the listing from lsmod) but seems to make no difference to mounting or X-CD-Roast. > If that's not it ... is /etc/cdrom properly symlinked, probably to > /dev/scd0? (I can't check my system for the right answer, because it has > both a CD-R and a DVD drve, and /dev/cdrom symlinks to the DVD.) Does the > same thing happen if you try to mount /dev/scd0 someplace. I think '/etc/cdrom' is a misprint? /dev/cdrom is linked to /dev/hdb. I tried mounting /dev/scd0, got /dev/scd0: unknown device. It's rather late at night now, I'm not thinking too clearly. I think I need to sit down and work this out carefully before I can ask any intelligent questions.
