Yes. Dell Dimension 4300. My box is a Dell Dimension 2400.

No. That's not installed. I wiped the hard drives last Thanksgiving
and probably that wasn't the first time, after receiving the machines.

fstab:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
mtab:

proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0

John: As I posted about one hour ago, today I moved the Teac DV-516D
DVD/CD reader to my box. Exactly the same problem there. I'm not sure
if the drive is sick (I think it is OK, but I will try, ASAP, to find
TEAC Diagnostics for it and run that) or if it is something in the
Kernel or elsewhere in CentOS 5 that does not support the Teac drive.
I have not run YUM update to update everything. Possibly I will do
that tonight and let it go all night.
Thank you! Lanny
