Well I seen a few post back today but can't tell from heads ot tails what's what of it. I seen where there was "Dell" in the command prompt machine name??
Yes. Dell Dimension 4300. My box is a Dell Dimension 2400.
By any chance is any type of Dell Virtual Media Drive Software installed on the machine if it's a dell machine? It's a longshot guess if it is a dell it may be causing you problems.
No. That's not installed. I wiped the hard drives last Thanksgiving and probably that wasn't the first time, after receiving the machines.
Also please post you fstab and mtab files. It may be helpful in pointing out the problem. Also have you run yum update on the machine?
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:

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
