Well, recompiling my 2.0.34 kernel got my 3com NIC working, but now my CD-ROM that was on /dev/hdc won't work. When I try to mount it I'm told that the iso9660 fs type is not supported by the kernel.
When I run "make menuconfig" I see nothing about the iso9660 fs type under the "Filesystems" item, and the "CD-ROM drivers" item says it's not for SCSI or IDE/ATAPI drives (and I assume my CD-ROM is IDE since it's the first drive on the second IDE port nad I used to be able to access it on /dev/hdc). Under the "Floppy, IDE, and other block devices" item the "Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support" option is *'d. What am I missing? Thanks. At 02:57 PM 2/13/1999 -0600, Kent West wrote: >Whoo-hoo!
