[plug] Question about CDROM

[John Breen]

I've done this myself on occasion (under Winslows and Linux), and found that
I'd bumped the IDE cable or the controller.  Al lI had to do was re-seat all
the relevant cards and cables, and away it went.

Cheers,


John

	I had my CDROM working until 8 AM this morning. All I did was
changed my video card and closed the
	box. At bootup time, the CDROM drive did not get mounted.

	I tried to manually mount the drive,

	$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
	mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device
	       (maybe 'insmod driver'?)

	That is the message, I get now.

	Then, I inserted a audio CD, and xmcd does not play it. I am using
OSS driver ( and did turn on the driver ).

	The "eject" command says
	eject: open failed for '/dev/hdc': No such device

	Did not know changing video card was so dangerous ;-)

	I would appreciate any help. The video card a XFConfig work great,
but now I want my CD to work.

	Thank you for any help.
