I encountered this the day after I upgraded to 3.0. If you recall, there was a script that you had to run when you got the 3rd Party ROM --it altered /usr/filesystems/CDROM.fs and is bogus to 3.0 i.e., it makes 3.0 panic. Just copy /usr/lib/filesystems/CDROM.fs off of the 3.0 CD, and all will be well. -rob ---- Rob Francis Unix Systems Specialist, Indiana University francisr@indiana.edu (812)855-0327
