cdrom not a valid block device

moon69 · 01-18-2003, 01:03 PM

I can't mount my cdrom. I used it to install RH7.2, but now when i type mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom I get the error message saying /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device.
In my search here i saw that many ask the settings of fstab when trying to debug cdrom problems. My fstab says:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzo,ro 0 0

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Try running the command depmod -a as root.

Then try to mount your data cd.

thanks TK!
Worked like a champ. I'd never heard of 'depmod' before.
