It can, and does. The reasons why it doesn't in your case can include your custom kernel not being properly configured to support ide-cdrom devices (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m|y) among many others. Are you running this kernel on a regular debian system (etch), or is this a live-cd or something like that? Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
