-->Orig Message
From: Glen Lee Edwards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have an old 486-66 with a Sound Blaster Pro CDRom. Due to a hacker, I just
did a fresh install of RH 6.1. The install worked, but I can't get the CDRom to
work. It needs the sbpcd module, but I can't remember how to install it.
"insmod sbpcd" installs the module (it shows up in "lsmod") but trying to mount
the CDRom doesn't work. I get an error message,
"mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/hdd as a block device
(maybe 'insmod driver'?)."
I have the following in /etc/conf.modules:
alias /dev/hdd sbpcd
and the following in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 owner,exec,device,suid,ro,noauto 0 0
Suggestions?

/dev/hdd would be the slave drive on the secondary IDE controller of your
machine. This runs off the SB card.
I belive that there is a /dev/sbpcd device file already installed .
Try replacing /dev/hdd with /dev/sbpcd You also may have to pass the
base address option in the /etc.conf.modules - I believe it was 0x230, but I
can't swear to it.
My RH6 install CD still had the How-To files in the /doc directory. Check
out the CDROM How-To if you have it.
Regards,
Tom
