Another working question- I setup my CDRW and can see the SCSI ATAPI in the boot message- but now i get something about not being ablt to find the /dev/cdrom. I still can't play or mount any cd's in the cdrom drive, and the CDRW is still not setup correctly- what am I missing- section of fstab- 6>hda: WDC WD200EB-00BHF0, 19092MB w/2048kB Cache, CHS=2434/255/63, UDMA(33) <4>hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, DMA <6>Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.11 <4>hdd: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA <6>Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M <6>FDC 0 is an 8272A <6>LVM version 0.9 by Heinz Mauelshagen (13/11/2000) <4>lvm -- Driver successfully initialized <6>md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MAX_REAL=12 <6>linear personality registered <6>raid0 personality registered <6>raid1 personality registered <6>raid5 personality registered <6>raid5: measuring checksumming speed <6>raid5: MMX detected, trying high-speed MMX checksum routines <4> pII_mmx : 346.329 MB/sec <4> p5_mmx : 398.526 MB/sec <4> 8regs : 336.423 MB/sec <4> 32regs : 229.362 MB/sec <4>using fastest function: p5_mmx (398.526 MB/sec) <4>scsi : 0 hosts. <4>scsi : detected total. <4>md.c: sizeof(mdp_super_t) = 4096 <6>Partition check: <6> hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 <5>RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 <4>Uncompressing...............................................................................done. <6>autodetecting RAID arrays <4>autorun ... <4>... autorun DONE. <6>apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.13) <4>VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem). <6>usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs <6>usb.c: registered new driver hub <6>autodetecting RAID arrays <4>autorun ... <4>... autorun DONE. <4>VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. <4>change_root: old root has d_count=1 <5>Trying to unmount old root ... okay <4>Freeing unused kernel memory: 88k freed <6>Adding Swap: 136544k swap-space (priority -1) <4>scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices <4>scsi : 1 host.
