Sounds like you have a CDROM listed in /etc/fstab. It will try to mount that CD on boot -- even if none are found. I believe you should add a noauto option in your fstab to take care of that. Or it could be a module/kernel problem. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org . Trouble? e-mail to templin@bucknell.edu .
