I was told this disabled supermount. ??? I dunno, but it's been working so I've been doing the mount/umount thing and copying like crazy. I'll have to burn a cd and see if that works too. yes , that is correct , no supermount, not with scsi-emulation, don't work, at least not for me and many others, maybe you are lucky, but it's not much less to use auto mount , if on the command line you will have to mount /umount, if on desktop icon just leftmouseclick icon it automatically mounts, to unmount rightmouseclick down to either unmount or eject if eject it automatically unmounts before ejecting media. What about /etc/lilo.conf append= hdc=ide-scsi I guess you have it since it would not show up on the bus if it didn't, but is it exactly right. It's there. But thanks, didn't know where that was.

Re: [newbie] CDROM troubles
It appears that you do not have supermount runnning. It would show up in your fstab like this: none /mnt/cdrom supermount /dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask 0 0 0 So, you do need to unmount before switching CDs, then mount again.
