It complains about the eject command. /dev/scd0 is known by the system and works fine at least when I am mounting a CDROM for reading. Before using the SCSI emulation, this device was /dev/cdrom so that behavior is exactly as it should be. This is the darndest problem I have come across yet. If I type mount /dev/scd0 /mnt I can read the disk as if it was a SCSI device. I don't know what else to try. By the way, my utmost thanks to everybody who has had a suggestion. I think I have either done something very odd in the setup or kernel building process or we have a bug of some kind. This just doesn't add up. _______________________________________________ Blinux-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
