I seem to have the same /dev configuration  (and dates) as your installation
so thats ok
also the fstab file is fine.

I don't have a file   isofs.o   in my  /lib/modules/kernel-ver/fs
directory.  Do I need this file??
(someone mentioned this to me)

The CDRom is functioning ok as I ran the win NT setup disks and it detected
an  ATAPI  (PCI) cdrom controller.

strange..

thanks
n.
