Take the hdc=ide-scsi out of the kernel command line in grub.conf, reboot, and see if that helps. When you come to burn CDs, you may need to reconfigure /etc/cdrecord.conf to include something like this: # drive name device speed fifosize driveropts # cdrw= /dev/cdrom -1 -1 burnfree And thanks for such a clear problem report. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | "We completely deny the allegations, and we're @westexe.demon.co.uk | trying to identify the alligators."
