Removing references in modprobe.conf and modprobe.preload for
ide-scsi is also neccessary. Consider this advice temporary as
Mandrake (current 10.1 devel) is goin back to ide-scsi for IDE CD
devices. Early 10.1 (2.6.5 or .6 kernel) is already back to it.
Contrary to the questionable Mandrake move, this 'last minute'
change to magicdev for 10.0, I'd suggest doin a urpme on it an
then runnin 'supermount -i enable' && 'mount -a' Supermount is
mature, magicdev is alpha, and has known problems. I find
supermount-ng as implemented in current 2.6.x kernels to be
flawless.
Another mistaken Mandrake move, but can easily be turned off or
removed is tmdns.
John, check that 'll /dev/hd*' return drives numbers suitable
for your CD drives(s). Make sure fstab also reflects the correct
device, ie, hd*, not scd*. Check /etc/ modprobe* files to be
certain they don't call ide-scsi or scsi host adaptor. I'm
sort'a thinkin your fstab (Mandrake bug) doesn't accurately
reflect the device connotations. If my advice doesn't work for
you post the results of
- 'll /dev/hd*' and also /dev/scd*
- Your /etc/fstab file.
- 'cdrecord -scanbus' and 'cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus'
- Your modprobe* files
Come to think of it, post your kernel version ('uname -r') and
the above to the list before makin any changes.

The cdrecord -scanbus produced a long file. Included was:
scsidev: 'ATA'
devname: 'ATA'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
warning: using badly designed ATAPI via /dev/hd* interface
I also noticed when checking mcc hardware that the device file had
been changed from /dev/hdc to /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target/lun0/cd. This
file change also happened in 9.2 and I couldn't mount the cd. I ended
up reinstalling 9.2. On md 10 it may have happened when I hit the "run
config tool". Hope this info. helps. I am also having problems with
internet connection but will tackle that after this. Thanks for the
help.
