ok, i have 2 hard disks.. (on primary master, and primary slave), and 1 cdrom (secondary master)..
the secondary master should be /dev/hdc right? When i try to mount the cdrom using mount cdrom, or mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom i get a mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
error message.. whats up??? :(

none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

well.. did some searching, and came up with this:

didn't really help me that much.. learned some new commands =)
how would i check if the module installed sucessfully?

another link i found in case anyone needs it:
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20930&highlight=valid+block+device
it's probably not working cause i disabled scsi support when i compiled my kernel (i thought i didn't need it)..
heh.. 1 sided conversation here =)

well, I'm far from being a pro, but what you said you used to mount the CD-ROM didn't look like any of the commands I use
I usually just type mount /mnt/cdrom, and I have no troubles.
