I just installed CentOS 4.4 yesterday P.M., on my 2.4 GHz P4 box, >Foxconn i865 mbd, 2 GB DDR400 RAM (4 X 512 MB), 1 X 20 GB HDD (hda), 1 X >160 GB HDD (hdb), 1 X LG GSA H22N DVD reader/burner (hdc), 1 X 400 GB >HDD (hdd), Coolmax CP500-T PSU. I wiped SuSE 9.2 off of the 20 GB drive >& installed CentOS. The other 2 drives were already ext3 FS & will be >mounted as /home & /work when I get everything sorted out & going.

Thanks in advance for your time. > > > Rats !!!! I guess I over-googled, I had 'CentOS 4.4' in there as well, only got 8 hits, none pertinent. Any idea what might cause this behavior (no /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom present, only mention of hdc in dmesg output is 1 line referring to IDE1 channel, & this only minutes after install from that drive) ?
