Mounting cdrom
I am using RH 7.2 I try to mount the cdrom with... mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
I get the following error message... mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device What am I doing wrong??? :( |
Hi bkmesenbrink,
start a session as root and try this. # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom now for this to work make sure that there is an entry for your /dev/cdrom in your fstab file. Also, make sure that the /mnt/cdrom mount point exist in your system. If it doesn't exist you need to create it. good luck! :p |
The entry in my /etc/fstab file is...
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 I have the following entries in the /mnt directory... drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jul 30 10:37 cdrom When I type the command under root... # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom I still get; mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device I don't understand why this isn't working!?! :confused: Please help |
try running depmod -ae as root
|
What ls -l /dev/cdrom
reports? I bet there's no such device, run as root dmesg|less till you see an entry initializing hardrives and cd-rom note what it is : should be along these lines hdx x is a letter a...z with it in hands, suppose it turn out to be hdb, make a symlink ln -sf /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom |
