It doesn't like my CD-ROM. It says: (ncr0:4:0): "CHINON CD-ROM CDS-535 Q20" is a type 5 removable SCSI-2 cd0(ncr0:4:0): CD-ROM assertion "cp == np->header.cp" failed: file "../../pci/ncr.c", line 5243 ... phase change blah blah asynchronous blah blah... drive empty and then, about 50% of the times, it makes the disk controller go into an infinite loop (disk light on forever, and CD-ROM light on forever as well). I don't know what to do other than: 1. try some different SCSI termination; 2. buy a different CD-ROM drive. I could also look at the sources but that would take a while. Thanks ---Luigi
