Dear Tony: > No, it's something else. I'd guess that the CD filesystem isn't what was > expected -- CDs are usually not EXT2, which is what the error sounds like. > Is it an audio CD? Yes, you are right. That's exactly it. The CD is a music CD, plays fine. No problem with install CD's. Linux ext3 does not recognize the foreign audio CD file system. Same for the DVD. So, PROBLEM SOLVED. I'll just ignore the "error" message during bootup. Thank you so much. Benjamin > >Both CD and DVD play fine > >(audio and video).
