Hi Andrew. I tried helping you before, guess I failed. Sorry. Just out of
curiosity, are you running Mandrake v8.1? If so, I would suggest (as a last
resort) disabling devfs. Its caused problems in various places on other users
machines.
Here, I couldn't burn CD's with my CDRW until I disabled it.
As root, go to /etc/lilo.conf and edit it. See the line about devfs? If it is
enabled, use what I have below. I hope this helps you, because otherwise I
just really don't know...
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
vga=normal
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
lba32
prompt
timeout=300
message=/boot/message
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda6
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=" devfs=nomount quiet" (this is the line here!)
vga=788
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=windows
table=/dev/hda
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
See ya later...
