pen drive, hard disk, cd not being detected
 

I am working in Centos5.5. Pen drive, hard disk, cd are not being recognised. During booting, "mounting local filesystems [failed]" is displayed among other errors which I am unable to see as the messages proceed fast. Are these messages stored in some file, so that I can check them and report all the errors that are displayed during booting.

"dmesg" should give you some clues.

Among many messages that 'dmesg' displays, the following seems to indicate that something might be wrong:
mtrr:type mismatch for c1fe0000,10000 old:write-back new:write-combining

I can't understand what does the above mean?

The problem occurred after I downloaded and compiled the package for enabling wireless on the laptop from the site 'www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php' which I got to know from the site 'wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless/Broadcom'

you need to find a better email program for participating on lists.
you posted 3 emails this morning none of which have a Referencers:
header, or any quoted context, so they ended up unthreaded. now, my
'Centos" folder has 35000 messages in it currently. I don't know
many people who would spend the time to figure out what you're talking
about unless they were on an hourly retainer.
