For some odd odd reason, neither of my cd-rom drives will mount...at all. When i try to mount the secondary master i get an error of
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)

And my other CD-Rom drive (a CD-R) just refuses to mount for some reason...it says "no medium found" when i actually do have a cd inside of it. The ide-cd.o is installed as a module, so i'm completely lost..my fstab looks like this
LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 auto noauto,rw 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0

I'm pretty lost as to what i should do

(SPECS: Red Hat 7.0, KDE, cdrom- LITEON LTN301,
cd-r - TEAC CD-W58E)

Thanks

What's the command that you are using to attempt the mount?? Also have you loaded the module yourself, if so did you use insmod or modprobe? Use modprobe if you didn't already as it will load any dependencies first.

cheers

I installed the module myself, but when i do a modprobe of ide-cd it says that it can't locate the module. The mount command i'm using is mount, i didn't know there was another one...???

Right, then either you kernel isn't built with IDE CD support (have you recompiled your kernel and missed it out?) or your symlinks (/dec/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1) and not valid, use the devices themselves, so mount with say cheers
