Hi List,
OK, I know that I am the cause of this stumbling block and not Linux
Mandrake,
as I selected the 'incorrect' method during install. I chose the 'no
scsi devices' mode of installation.
I have an icon on my KDE desktop for each of my, floppy, cdrom (DVD),
cdrom2 (CDRW)
and when I select any of them I get an 'error' message that says,
could not read /mnt/which_ever_icon_selected
file does not exist or access denied
Although I am not currently using LILO (well sort of) this is what I
have in lili.conf;
boot=/dev/had5
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda5
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
read-only
When I execute dmesg, I get this;
ide_setup: hdd=ide-scsi
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 21

Partition check:

So, what ever do I do to rein my hardware in?
:)
Thanks for all your help.
