Hi
Hopefully a quick question (or at least easily answered)! I've just
'upgraded' from RedHat 5.2 + KDE 1.1 to Mandrake 6.0 - and wow,
problems abound - enough to go back to win95 temporarily!
1 On boot I see the message 'hard linked hdd to dev/cdrom' but
can never mount the cdrom (or play music CDs!). The system
responds with a message like
'kernel does not recognise /dev/cdrom/ as a block device (maybe
insmod driver?)'
similar messages apply for /dev/hdd and for /dev/dsp (for sound
purposes - sndconfig won't function)
I ought to add I've tried both 'upgrading' and an clean install and on
both occasions I cannot get either the cdrom or sound functioning
as it did easily under 5.2. Is this a bug?
Hope somebody can help a pressured sociologist!
