HarM: Are you sure it would be /dev/hdc and not /dev/hdc1? The HD is partitioned into several volumes. (I have tried mounting /dev/hdc, /dev/hdc1, /dev/hdc2, etc. with no change.) Plus DiskDrake still doesn't show me any tab for /dev/hdc.
Yes, I'm sure...that way you mount the whole disk i.e. all partitions.
Ah, good to know.
Which makes me think: Could it be that the cd-rom was a CD-writer?
If so there are probably still lines in lilo (/etc/lilo.conf) like append
/dev/hdc=ide-scsi.
Remove those lines from /etc/lilo.conf and run "lilo" (as su/root) to make it
stick.
Yep, that did the trick. Thanks very much for your help, you nailed this one quickly!
