So I figured maybe another newbie has run into a simmilar problem. I have a Pro-audio spectrum 16 card on my system which has a scsi connection to an NEC tripple speed CD-ROM drive. I had installed 2.2.5 on my hard drive using these. The 2.2.5 was borrowed and I have returned it. However when 3.1 came out I bought a copy on CD-ROM and am trying to install. However I get most of the way through the installation process and then it can not find the source(i.e. the cd-rom drive) Apparently it is not included in the generic kernel. I have looked at the documentation on the CD-ROM and it lists the pas-16 as supported hardware. However about a paragraph later it lists it as currently unsupported. That leaves me with the question of how do I get it to work? Is it really unsupported and therefore wasted my money or am I doing something wrong? Also if it is not supported how come it was in 2.2.5 and not anymore? Sue if you think that this appropriate to forward to questions please go ahead and do so, you have my permission and admiration, but I do not subscribe to questions so all answers would have to be e-mailed to me.
