Hi Adam, Well I had some sucess but also some real problems. Adam wrote:

mabye b/c you compiled udf w/out "Write Support"? In order to get you need to enable 'experimental options' and then enabled 'UDF Write (Dangerous)" Correct, I did not have this set. After I recompiled I could mount it and did write to the CD.

1) Why aren't udf and pktcdvd0 modules being auto loaded even though they appear in my modules.dep file?

b/c modules.dep just lists intermodule dependencies. In order to have something call the module kernel/knod or whatver it is nowdays needs to know what to call for example if I do 'ifconfig eth0' then the "whatever" will check out /etc/modules.conf what eth0 is defined as Yeah, forgot about this. Exactly what do you have? alias pktcdvd0 alias /dev/scdo udf OK, now the big problems. 1) After I recompiled I could not make a new initrd image. It just hung. I killed the bash process. 2) After umount, I could not eject the CD 3) I could not shutdown. I had to use the reset switch - ugh Glenn ----- ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1
