Ah! Just realised that the error bombardment is set off immediately after starting X (kde 3.15). I have no X applications trying to access /dev/cdrom which now points to /dev/scd0. Still can't figure out the connection between X and ide-scsi. Any ideas? -- Alphonse Ogulla Nairobi, Kenya -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
