Just a quick side note: It's quite likely that actually getting your computer back on the FC3 updates track will fix your CD troubles (without mucking around with ide-scsi or anything like that), apparently the version of udev in the release was a bit quirky with a bunch of CD- ROMs. The new version is also faster in my experience. /Per -- Per Bjornsson <perbj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University
