Does the Packard-Bell sound card provide an IDE interface? A lot of those are proprietary. If so, you probably will have a different device name than hde and you may have to compile support into the kernel or as a module. What do the kernel messages say when the card and CD-ROM are detected? Bob ---- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
