Thanks. That is what I did not want to hear. I guess that I'll do a little PM with compressed air in the AM and if that does not work then I'll have to take it down tomorrow night and try to swap out for another CD-ROM device, if the IBM BIOS will allow that without squawking loudly :-), like when I tried to install a CD-RW device.
Thanks,
Bob

My first guess would be a bad CD-ROM drive.

Hi all
I have a stable RH8 install on IBM xServer232. NO recent changes. No evidence of outside tampering. I have suddenly seen the following errors in response to the typed commands. I would note that the CD itself is good and is iso9660 and can be read by several other Linux installs (FC1, FC2, SuSE 8 & 9.1)
/etc/fstab appears to have the correct settings.
[root@rgeserv1 root]# dmesg | grep hda ide0: BM-DMA at 0x0840-0x0847, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA hda: LTN486S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide-scsi: hda: unsupported command in request queue (0) end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector 0
[root@rgeserv1 root]# mount /mnt/cdrom mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
I also get this error if I type: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom or mount -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom
I am not sure where to start looking since the built in IBM diagnostics don't demonstrate any errors that I can find. Can someone give me some suggestions as to where to continue looking?
TIA
Bob
