Hi all
Just installed my new SME 6.0 box and it seems the symbolic link in the dev directory hooked /dev/hdd instead of /dev/scd0 for my cdrom drive.
Hardware involved was a Gigabyte 8IP1000 Pro 2 mobo using an Intel 865 chipset (PATA drives used not SATA); cdrom setup as secondary slave.
Problem was evidenced by an error on trying to mount the cdrom drive by issuing the command:
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
command complained that the filesystem was wrong.
Solution:
cd /dev
rm cdrom
ln -s cdrom /dev/scd0
seems like the RH7.3 base detects the IDE inteface on the 865 chipset as a SCSI interface.
Correcting the link makes everything work fine.
HTH
