mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock
 

Hi,
I am a new user to linux (I have been playing around with mandriva for two weeks), yet a few days after installation I had to recompile kernel because of some hardware issues regarding ACPI that were solved in the new version. So, now with them solved and almost everything working (i compiled the kernel about 10 times before getting an ok configuration :) the dvds that were working fine woth the old kernel are refusing to mount. I always get the "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock " message. Any idea what to configure in the kernel config? I have UDF and ISO enabled, and really do not know where elsewhere to look (tried some blind kernel features checking with no luck :) ... It is v2.6.16.5. Thank you, & sorry for my English:)

Okay how are you mounting? From command line or an Icon on the desktop.
Post exactly what you are doing including exact eroors.
What is in your /etc/fstab?
What is in /etc/filesystem?
Did you add them as a module or compiled into the kernel.

You mean /proc/filesystems? ;)

mandrive may not have the file /etc/filesystems. It may just be a Redhat/redhat clone scheme.
Post output of command ' cat /proc/filesystems '

Compiled in kernel..

Not sure what is going on either myself. Something must be a miss. Most of my filesystems are modules.
