I just looked in the CDROM HOWTO: that's not what teh device should be: you must go int /dev then ( as root) type mknod /dev/sbpcd b 25 0
also, in /etc/fstab, it's /dev/sbpcd, no partition number, it's a cdrom. make the devie, then try to install the module. for Howtos goto www.metalab.unc.edu/Linux got it? --dave > Hi everyone, > > I didn't get much responses the last time I post this message, but > probably because the people who know about this problem didn't have chance > to read this.
