EASY, your CDROM drive does not like being programmed as a "master" drive. Reset it to slave mode and put it behind a master hard drive (as /dev/hdb). I ran into this very same problem myself. After resetting my CDROM from "master" to "slave", it has performed flawlessly. -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.-
