I have both a Kenwood 52x TRUE-X ide cdrom and a Creative 6424 CDRW ide writer. These drives worked fine under Mandrake 7.2, which also set up my ide-scsi configuration. When I tried to do an install for 8.0 I kept getting error messages saying that second stage install couldn't load, when trying to install from the cd in the Kenwood drive. I then noticed that the kernel was identifying the Kenwood drive as a cdrom/dvd. But the drive has no dvd capabilities, its a cdrom. Well I then put the cd in the creative drive and tried then install and it worked fine.
 
So Mandrake 8 is installed know but is having problems with my cdroms. When I try to enter the /mnt directory from package manager it locks up the program. So I then tried to enter that directory from a terminal and you can get to /mnt but cant get to /mnt/cdrom1 or 2. The terminal locks. When I do a shutdown it can not unmount the cdrom either. So I think the bug might be cdrom related.
 
Have any of you had these problems or heard of them. If any one could help that would be great.
 
Thanks.
