-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I don't know where the problem is coming from but I am finding it virtually impossible to use either of my cdroms or my zip drive for any length of time. I have a CDROM, a CD-Burner, and an internal zip drive. They started out using supermount, which I understand has had problems lately. I changed them from supermount and manually mounted them but the problem still arises.
If I am looking for files/navigating on my zip drive, often, all of a sudden, it becomes invisable to the system. One moment an "ls" will produce a list files on the disk but then, poof!, they suddenly become invisable. Doing an "ls" after this point simply produces errors: ls: IpDrv.int: No such file or directory ls: IpServer.int: No such file or directory ls: MSVCRT.dll: No such file or directory ls: Manifest.ini: No such file or directory ls: Manifest.int: No such file or directory ls: MeTaLDrv.dll: No such file or directory ls: MeTaLDrv.int: No such file or directory ls: OpenGlDrv.dll: No such file or directory ls: OpenGlDrv.ini: No such file or directory I get this same sort of behavior from my cdrom drives. I stumbled on this when trying to install Deus Ex from my cdrom using winex. The disk is fine as it works just fine in windoze. Under linux, it works initially but then the install craps out complaining that it cannot find this or that file. When I then do an "ls" on the disk, I get something like the above. This is regardless of whether supermount is used or not. What is this? I assume this is a kernel problem. It seems that the linux kernels are becoming less and less stable and reliable as they've gone beyond 2.4.18. Has anyone else seen this but found a way around it other than going back to 2.4.18 (which I am certainly willing to do if necessary). praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+U70jwDUPEkSvRHERAtsIAJ9jCO81XjE5fOW9PSwf3Kx/PsM49QCguEok LKceGXsiyWyx0JUO/btsNGo= =c9fH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
