Ok, well good news is I am no longer getting all those nasty unresolved symbols. That was nice after I upgraded to kernel 2.2.14. However, I can now read floppies, but still can't mount my cdrom drives. I tried mount /dev/hdb /mnt tried specifying file type by mount -t msdos /dev/hdb /mnt etc. to get things working and still no luck. I built ide cdrom support as a module. Lsmode shows a module for a cdrom although it does not specify /dev/hdb which I assume is normal. Of course I'll futher assume that /dev/hdb is the first cdrom and /dev/hdc is the second. I also did specify that hdc is to be treated like a scsi drive cause its a burner. I did this on the commandline in the lilo.conf file. Surely I am doing something wrong here, but not sure what. Any further advice would be apprecaited. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
