Mark,
This is a possible answer...
>From what little I understand about HAL, HAL does not scan optical
drives attached to the same bus as a hard drive. So if your CD-ROM is
slave to a hard drive, HAL will not scan the media state and therefore
it will not auto mount. Check to see if your CD-ROM is slaved to a hard
drive and if so change it to another IDE bus, see what happens.
Best,
Steve
