I was having some problems in RC1 still, and most of them seemed to be fixed by 8.1 final, so i guess that might fix them. Specifically, i was using very odd combinations of filesystems, and having many partitions seemed to screw RC1 sometimes, but everything was working in that regard with final. Also, i notice that turning of devfs (passing nomount to the kernel) gives alot of errors when programs expect /dev/cdrom* devices, that then need to be created manually. Maybe that will fix your problem with the cdrom. - -- Tom "Tomahawk" Badran Imperial College Dept of Computing - --------------------------------------------- PGP Public key available from: certserver.pgp.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE72u43XCpWOla2mCcRAutmAJ9KSMZi9RkwcG5/AMGpjvDRL3d3RgCgkWJb SG7uJ+JnXoiTTZRkdyko9cA= =DH3d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
