Re: Newbie needs Help!
I just looked in the CDROM HOWTO:
that's not what teh device should be:
you must go int /dev
then ( as root) type mknod /dev/sbpcd b 25 0
also, in /etc/fstab, it's /dev/sbpcd, no partition number, it's a cdrom.
make the devie, then try to install the module.
for Howtos goto www.metalab.unc.edu/Linux
got it?
