run df -h again and see if you have udev and shm listed in addition to /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda3 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

as Peter Humphrey correctly pointed out,

That no longer works here; /dev/hdc works though.


so change to:
dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom    iso9660      noauto,user    0 0


i trust you caught my typo - missing / in

yes


/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom    iso9660      noauto,user    0 0

I just tried this (with out rebooting) and the fault is still the same, but now 'mount' is reporting the fault is with /dev/hdc instead of /dev/cdroms/cdrom0


The error now is:
"Mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems." ?

yes

The cd is an ide/ata type not scsi or usb or sata or 1394 or ?

I believe your right. it is ide.


reboot not needed here, might try auto vice iso9660,(which should change nothing)

it looks like you need to: (section 7.c)
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
and take a hard look at device drivers and file systems

I spent some time this after noon line by line going through "make menueconfig'


if lspci will run, any thing it has to say about the cd would be useful, it is part of the package pciutils

I didn't see anything conciquential in lspci, but the first part scrolled off the screen.

I occures to me that there may be a relationship with my boot time problem. In the beginning when I booted off the disk the unit would hang trying to auto configer the hardware. So at the boot prompt I put;
gentoo nodetect
I assumed that the problem was because I have 3 TV tuner cards (2 different makes) plugged in, and don't have the driver software yet. Maybe I should remove the cards and do a reboot from CD?




and all should be well
