[snip] > Any ideas what I should be looking for or at? Just a shot in the dark here, but is there a symlink /dev/cdrom pointing to /dev/sr0 ? My cdr is scd0 and everyone was looking for /dev/cdrom, which didn't exist. course i never had a lock-up over that, but kde's cd player crashed and burned over it every time. Are you using the devfs=nomount option in /etc/lilo.conf ? Maybe (total guess) devfs is part of the problem? just my 2.3 yen, hope its helpful. -- Chris and Yoshiko Spackman www.openhistory.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] (English) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Japanese) "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered.
