Re: [TCLUG:6098] block device



You may have forgotten iso9660 support in the kernel either as a module or
integrated within the kernel itself.  Also, since the RH boot scripts
(/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit assuming your running RH) are pretty inept at
handling "traditional" kernel modules and versioning techniques, you may
need to insert the iso9660 module directly by hand.
