Thanks > for the help everyone.... But nobody actually gave the complete answer, so some people will continue to have some problems. You know: Don't mount music CDs! You don't know that the device characteristics for ATAPI devices changed in 4.6 and you need to delete /dev/acd0* and cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV acd0 You can check this with 'ls -l /dev/acd*' If the minor modes for the 'c' partition ar not 0 for acd0c and 8 for acd1c, you need to re-make the devices. Once this is done, you will be able to use /dev/acd0c as intended. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
