It will make your file system think that /cdrom and /dev/cdrom are the 'same thing'. You want to preserve the distinction between the block device (on my machne /dev/hdb, on yours I think it's /dev/hdc) which is linked to /dev/cdrom, vs. the filesystem on the cd, which 'mounts' at /cdrom. If that makes any sense. I don't have any experience using a cd-rom controlled through a sound card, but it sounds like there's some driver-level failure going on here; your filesystem is almost definitely fine, and in this context practically irrelevant anyway. When you get that string of sbpcd messages, does it ever mention the model that your system detects on the boot (Matsushita CR-581 blah blah blah)? If it's trying to load a driver corresponding to your cd-player and failing, that tells you one thing; if it never mentions your cd-player, then that tells you something else. One irrelevant, picky little detail: my understanding is that the 'standard (tm)' place to mount a cd-rom is not /cdrom but rather /mnt/cdrom. I don't think it will matter for _anything_, but you never know. . . Came into this thread late, so appypollyloggies if I'm rehashing the spew of others. -m -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
