Well, adding to the puzzle: I put the hard-drive and cd-drive on an other box,
then everything is fine!! So one would say something is wrong with the first
box. But, if I boot with a install-cd on it, everything is fine, until I
start kde. And as said before, if I manually mount the cd, it appears ok
in /media/cdrom0.
As I have to deliver the box tomorrow, if anyone has a idea where to look for
a clue, I will be glad...
