Erm.. I am coming in a bit late on this thread, but I take it that you have defined your CD drive to ide-scsi and now it does not work? In the fstab file you list above there is a space missing between 'none' and '/mnt/cdrom' - Maybe just a typo? Also be aware if this is a DVD drive there are some DVD drives that will not work as ide-scsi (mine included) You can confirm your drive is working as ide-scsi with cat /proc/scsi/scsi Apologies if I have totally misunderstood your problem. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
