I think I may have stumbled upon a bug on the Redhat 6.0 release. On install, I created a boot disk from BOOT.IMG. I rebooted the machine and when asked what type of CDROM I had, I put Soundblaster/Panasonic and chose AutoProbe. I did not detect my CDROM. I did a manual config on it, giving it the parameters sbpcd=0x300,1 It appeared to find the CDROM, however it then gave errors that it could not mount /dev/sbpcd. What is odd is that I can follow the same procedure on the Redhat 5.1 CD and the Autoprobe detects the CDROM and installs the OS without a hitch. I am assuming there is something different that is done with sbpcd on the 5.1 boot.img that is broke on the 6.0 boot.img.
