G'day, I'm getting the error message "mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device" when I try to mount the CD. This is after installing RH7.2 on an old Pentium I/166 (to modify an old 7.2-based application); the box has no floppy drive. I raise that because the /dev/cdrom symlink points to /dev/hdb (not hdc as I believe is normal) and the log shows the following: localhost kernel: ide-floppy driver 0.97 localhost insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel drivers/ide/ide-cd.o: insmod ide-cd failed localhost kernel: hdb: driver not present dmesg shows multiple repeats of: ide-floppy driver 0.97 hdb: driver not present The fstab line shows: /dev/cdrom/ /mnt/cdrom/ iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 Should the /dev/cdrom symlink be pointing to /dev/hdc rather than dev/hdb? If so, how do I change it - I haven't done that yet?
