Should I do step 3 above? In /var/log/messages I see the following: Jan 13 07:23:05 localhost kernel: sr1: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. Jan 13 07:23:36 localhost last message repeated 31 times This shows up constantly, all the time, (the messages file is growing! :) There is no /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1, but note the sr1 in the error message. I use append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi", and both drives seem to work, but are polled repeatedly, causing delays in 'df' output. The fstab lines follow: /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0 /mnt/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd1 0 0 I assume supermount is looking for media.
