Hi Michael I have read your problem with your CDrom drive on the SuSE list. I have a similiar setup to you, Acer 24x CDrom, 3.4gb and 1.2gb hard disks and was wondering if you can help? I attempted to install SuSE 6.0 using the standard 2.0.36 kernel and I kept on getting this error message after Linux had booted for the first time and went to finalise settings with YaST: An error occured mounting the CD. The error output of the mount command is: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd or too many mounted file systems I have now managed to install SuSE 6 but I still have problems: I notice that I can only mount the SuSE CDs with the drive spinning, should the drive spin down (after 5mins) then I can not mount the CD (lights flash etc and irq timeout errors appear in the /var/log/messages see below). Interestingly this seems to only happen with the SuSE CDs, all 5 of them! A copy of RedHat 5.2 can be accessed all the time, even after CDrom spin down. All CDs can be read in Win98. Any ideas?
