Have you checked to see if /dev/cdrom is a dead symbolic link? If so, you'll want to recreate the /dev/cdrom with the actual device (for instance, if your CDROM is the second device on the IDE channel, you'd type: ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom) -- Fri Jul 11 16:35:00 EST 2003 16:35:00 up 4 days, 18:07, 3 users, load average: 0.28, 0.12, 0.07 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * The term "fire" brings up visions of violence and mayhem and the ugly scene of shooting employees who make mistakes.
