I am attempting to update from Mandrake 7.0 -> 7.2 (Powerpack Deluxe).
As usual, I made a bootdisk and ran it -- but it could not mount my
SCSI CD (although it seems to have recognized that it is SCSI).
The error message is:
"I could not mount a cd on /dev/scd0"
This surprises me since I've been running various flavors of Linux on
this same computer since 1995 and the bootdisk has always recognized
and mounted the CD *automatically*. [My bios doesn't allow booting
from the CD].
For the record, when I run dmesg with my current Mandrake 7.0, the CD
part reads:
---------------------

[I have one SCSI harddisk and one IDE harddisk. There is no hardware
change since I got Mandrake 7.0 last year.]
Any hints? This must be simple.
