Firstly, scsi emulation is necessary for cd writing, thats why your cdrw is listed twice (once with scsi emulation on /dev/scd0). It should have been the same when you were using ML8.0. Check that /etc/lilo.conf (make a backup copy before editing) has: append=" hdc=ide-scsi" (assuming your cdrw is hdc) which will load the scsi emulation at boot. You can also add your cdrom drive there as well, which will allow cd burning apps to read from your cdrom drive and write to your cdrw drive (eg. when copying cds): append=" hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" (assuming your cdrom is hdd) You will need to run lilo for the change to take effect: /sbin/lilo Secondly, if you're using the standard kernel with ML8.1 (2.4.8-26mdk), supermount is broken in that kernel. But you can TRY to mount it with supermount as I think others had some success (not me tho) - in a terminal as root "supermount -i enable" without the quotes. If supermount doesn't work for you, then again in a terminal as root "supermount -i disable" without the quotes. Then try mounting your cdrom as root in a terminal with "mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom" (without the quotes). You can change your /etc/fstab file as well from "supermount" to "auto" (again, make a backup copy before editing). I don't know about the error in your boot log so if you're still having problems perhaps someone else can help you. [Note: Supermount is fixed in the newer kernels, so I suppose you could install a newer kernel. Be warned: do NOT update your kernel but INSTALL it with rpm -ivh kernel-<package_name>.i586.rpm - see the archives] skinky -- oxymoron: Microsoft Works
