Sluggers,
I just tried to upgrade from deadrat 6.1 to 6.9. Seemed to go ago but
crashed with a few rpms still not installed. Re-ran the install and it
crashed again in the same place. I managed to get the system back on
it's feet and it has been running for about a week now. All is fine
except I can't mount the cdrom drive. It's the primary on the first
IDE, (hard disks are scsi). Shows up in the Bios ok, and the system
will boot from a cd so hardware is fine. Any ideas where to start?
(install Debian comments already taken on notice, but thanks anyway ;-)
Appropriate lines from /var/log/dmesg
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 21
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1860-0x1867, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1868-0x186f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hda: HITACHI CDR-8435, ATAPI CDROM drive
Other stuff....
% mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)

Kernel is 2.2.16-17smp,
though I've only got the one processor :-(
Thanks
