Sorry, I probably should been more descriptive about my problem.
About 4 weeks age I installed Linux Red Hat 5.2. on my computer. Every
thing seemed to work fine including my CD-ROM drive. Then I got a new
motherboard and CPU. I cleared all my HD's and reinstall every thing
from scratch Windows and Linux. I think that I maintained the same
configuration of my drives. I have tried all of the things you all
suggested except compile a custom kernel, (I don't know how to that).
And, have had the same results as before. Thanks for your help so far.
