Ut2004 Mount Problems


Hi everyone i have a big problem with ut2004. When i try to install using the linux-installer.sh it seams that the x-term is mounting only my hard drive (dev/hda2) but not my dvd-rom drive. I allready tried to mount and unmount it manualy,but it seams that is not working. Is there a way to modify the installer so it can mount the correct drive?
I am using SuSE Linux 9.1 professional.
Thank's!

Is SUSE coming with supermount? If this is the case, disable it. On Mandrake I'm doing it with the comand "supermount -i disable" (as root). After the instalation is finish, enable it back with "supermount -i enable".

Supermount --doesn't exist

No,the "supermount" command does not exist under suse linux.Another program named "hotplug", that monitors and configure the new mounted devices or hardware,but i allready disable it. Same problem occurred.Can i install it in another way?

Supermount command is part of kernel. You better check if it is enabled. Just in case.

I don't know about it. Last chance: copy the install script on hard disk, and start it from there. Before you start the script umount the cdrom. That will let the script mounting and umounting cdrom itself.

Already done this...It keeps mounting my /dev/hda2 drive only and keeps asking me to insert the install cd number 2. Does't seams to look up for the cd-rom drive.
With SuSE Linux 9.0 the installer works perfectly.Is there a chance to install the game manually without call the installer?

Make sure you are running the installer while you ARENT in the directory, that way you can unmount. I'm not sure if that will help.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that, but what I did was.. first off..

To reduce my possibility for error, I booted into a runlevel without a GUI and did a textual installation ..executing the installer script from a more distant $pwd. My problem was the mount would work for CD1 then it would ask for CD2 and it wouldn't unmount at all. I figured that it wouldn't unmount because of my current directory, so I restarted installation from a directory outside of the mount and it worked

My only recommendation to you is to CP the entire setup of cds and try and run them from there.

Done that.Any result. I started up my computer into 3 runlevel,also i ran the installer from another directory anyway i did everything you said.Same problem,it keeps mounting the hard drive only. Maybe is because i have "submount" and "km_submount" installed?
