Hi,

On my machine at home I have installed RedHat 5.1 from CD. The
installation went fine although I have the CD drive on the IDE port of the
soundcard. The soundcard is a Yamaha OPL Whatever.

Since the installation I have not been able to access the CD Rom drive. My
/etc/fstab is set up correctly but when trying to mount the drive the
shell just sits there. I get no prompt back and can't even Ctrl-C the
mount process. Usually I end up killing the rxvt session and be
frustrated.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens? Could it be that disabling PnP
in the system's BIOS (Award BIOS - I had to disable this to get my modem
to work) has anything to do with this?
