Mine too, but he was referring to his CDrom. I can't imagine what would screw it up though. If it gets REALLY into the toilet, open the case, disconnect it, boot and edit the bios to make sure it's gone, finish booting into Fedora and let it note you no longer have it. Erase any hand-edits regarding the cdrom drive in /etc/fstab. Make sure the system really sees it as gone. Maybe another reboot, just to be sure. Shutdown, plug the cdrom back in, boot up, edit the bios, boot into Fedora and let it discover it and don't hand edit /etc/fstab. It should automount and be useful. Unless the kernel is borked. You have your older kernel to boot with, before going through all of the above? I call that procedure the "last-ditch intervention". <grins> I used to have to do that with a cheapo sound card, every so often.
