I've got a bit more information. I enabled SCREEN_02 = shell to try and debug what's going on. When I insert the CD, from the shell session, an entry in fstab appears when I cat /etc/fstab: /dev/cdrom /var/run/drives/cdrom auto defaults 0 0 but when I try to access /media/isams/cdrom from my X session, I begin to get Buffer I/O errors on the shell session: Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 46882 This happens with every CD so it can't be the disk, but this is certainly the cause of the ltspfs crash. Is it the USB CD-ROM drive itself (internal IDE CD-ROM drives work great)? I don't have any other USB CD-ROMs to test with so how do I determine if it's the CD-ROM drive? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
