When I try to mount my cd-rom using the kde icon, i get the message that "the kernel does not recognize /dev/hdc as a block device (maybe 'insmod driver"?) So I did lsmod and modeprobe ppa and insmod ppa: bash-2.03# lsmod Module Size Used by opl3 11304 1 (autoclean) cs4232 2672 1 (autoclean) uart401 6128 1 (autoclean) [cs4232] ad1848 15952 1 (autoclean) [cs4232] sound 57400 0 (autoclean) [opl3 cs4232 uart401 ad1848] soundlow 344 0 (autoclean) [sound] soundcore 2340 6 (autoclean) [sound] parport_probe 3204 0 (autoclean) parport_pc 5808 1 (autoclean) lp 5828 0 (autoclean) (unused) parport 6984 1 (autoclean) [parport_probe parport_pc lp] tulip 30328 1 (autoclean) serial 42932 0 (autoclean) memstat 1604 0 (unused) nls_iso8859-1 2236 1 (autoclean) bash-2.03# insmod ppa Using /lib/modules/2.2.13/scsi/ppa.o /lib/modules/2.2.13/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy bash-2.03# insmod ppa Using /lib/modules/2.2.13/scsi/ppa.o /lib/modules/2.2.13/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy What is my problem here?
