I have struck a similar problem. I was building a box with cobbled together bits. One of the cobbled together bits was an old cdrom drive from the late nineties that was gathering dust in the shed. It did not work. While desperately trying different stuff to solve the problem I booted it with a live cd running a 2.4 series kernel and it worked. So if it is an old cdrom and you have an old live cd try that. Or try as root 'modprobe ide-cd' Cheers Ross Drummond _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
