[Devil-linux-develop] Error: CD Mount Problems

[John v. V. <joh...@ya...>]

Hi,

Just removed 2> /dev/null in cd mount in initrd and booted from the 44x cd
device with the boot cd that works in the 1x device.

Error

mount: Mounting /dev/hdd on /cdrom failed: No such file or directory

I think I will add a loop to try it a few times... any ideas ??

TIA, John
