Livecd Hangs

Using the latest livecd, I boot perfectly well from my CD-RW, I enter

gentoo nousb

at the boot prompt, things scroll along eventually reporting

--- Mounting the CD

mount: Mounting /newroot/dev/cdroms/* /newroot/mnt/cdrom failed: No such file or
directory

--- CD not found

umount: /newroot Device or resource busy

BusyBox v0.60.5 (2003.04.10-02-38+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter help for a list of built-in commands

sh: can't access tty: job control turned off

Can anyone tell me why it is that the CD is not being recognized?

just something to try, try not using the 'nousb' setting. See if it still does that. At the boot screen, just press enter.

xrn0id,

Interestingly, using

gentoo nousb

had been suggested to me as a solution to the problem because hitting Enter had given precisely the same negative output. Thanks for the thought behind the suggestion, however. Any other ideas?

try typing gentoo ide=nodma at the prompt, i had the same problem and this fixed it for me.
