I look after multiple systems (all gentoo/doze at the moment, but other distros -except debian - over the past ~10 years) Trust me, there are a lot of failures in amongst the success stories like yours. I am not saying things have not improved (/dev/hdX is nice when it works), often a clean, new

Try using /dev/hdX notation instead - there's some advantages to it with 2.6 (DMA is one) However I have found it just as flakey at times. CD burning and linux is just not "nice" in all the years I have used linux - and it seems to be getting worse, not better. BillK On Tue, 2005-04-12 at 22:16
