Re: Did I make a mistake in starting with Fedora Core 4?

Thank you for the advice. I have upgraded to the latest kernel, (2.6.12-1.1398_FC4).

Unfortunately, this did not solve my problem. As I write this, I have inserted a data DVD into one of the internal drives (the one I installed Fedora from), and the light continues to blink without the files on it being accessible. The drive does not respond to attempts to eject it either from within Gnome or by pressing the button on the drive itself. The only way I will be able to remove the DVD is to reboot and press eject during the boot process, before Linux takes hold (I've been through this before).

Also, I've noticed an error message during the boot process that occurs if I leave the DVD in the drive while booting Fedora:
mknod: failed to create /dev/console:17
mknod: failed to create /dev/null:17
mknod: failed to create /dev/zero:17
hdc: timeout waiting for DMA
hdc: drive not ready for command

Here is the output of lspci -v:
