/dev/cdrom, which is what you're trying to mount, is not an actual device--instead, it's an easy-to-remember symlink to hdd (which means "slave drive on seconday IDE port"). I assume that's where your CDROM drive is, and that the symlink was set up for you automatically during installation--that's typical. When you put the drive under SCSI emulation though, you need to use a SCSI device for it instead of the IDE device. Assuming that's your only SCSI (or SCSI-emulated) CDR(OM) drive, that's most likely /dev/sr0 (maybe /dev/scd0 would work too, but sr0 usually works better for me..). So, you could do one of two things: 1) Change the /dev/cdrom symlink to point to /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/hdd, OR 2) Edit /etc/fstab and change /dev/cdrom to /dev/sr0 This reminds me of a little issue I'm having with ide-scsi I need to post about.. Anyway, I hope that helps. Tom
