[QUOTE="billnot, post: 406091, member: 176016"] Instead of a hard disk, I've been trying to get a Lite-On ATAPI DVD-ROM to work on my 7025. To make it as simple as possible: the hardware works; i.e. the DVD-ROM lights when the DB boots, and Gemini correctly recognises it in the Blue Panel. I have enabled the necessary kernel module What I can't do is mount the device. As I'm sure you're aware, Gemini creates the /dev hierarchy on the fly during boot. The tree in /dev/ide which would be created for the device (i.e. /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd) isn't created, and it's no use manually creating it as you can't create the final cd anyway, and if you dreate the rest it gets deleted on boot. If I mount a hard disk on exactly the same cable, as /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 this mounts quite nicely. I know some of you have had success with installing CD and DVDROMs on the 7025, so what am I doing wrong? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
