I just installed 7.2 from CDROM, and that all went fine, reading every thing from the CD set. However after I reboot the CD drive no longer functions. I get messages like "Don't have permission" even when I'm logged in as root. Or some long line about "bad FS, bad super mount ... on /dev/hdc" error '32'. As the boot messages scroll by I see /dev/hdc SONY CRX-140E. So at some level some thing in the system knows a drive is out there, and it has identified the drive correctly. It seems like some thing in /etc/fstab is wrong, but I don't know how to fix it, nothing I've tried has fixed it. This is a IDE R/W drive, as master, but right now I'm only interested in getting the system up and running, where Read Only usage would be fine. -- For information on any of the following check out my WEB site at: http://www.csonline.net/bpaddock/ Chronic Pain Relief, Philadelphia Experiment, better Spelling via UNIFON http://www.chipcenter.com/circuitcellar/crparciv.htm http://www.uCOS-II.com
