[SOLVED] Mount cdrom

Hi again,

I´ve been working with cdroom this days. First installing the Linux os and secondly Reading an iso (in the cdroom device) for the LIS installation....

At this moment I dont know what could be the problem. Here is a configuration screen with my virtual device on Hyper-V for Oracle Enterprise Linux

Can you add a second virtual DVD drive like in Virtualbox?

jamison20000e , I tryed... In the image you can see a second input... But Linux cant recognize it after a reboot...

I wasn't sure if that was what was going on with the .iso loaded in both? Have other .iso or even CD\DVDs worked, can you burn to a disk and try the physical drive or any CD\DVD to see? Plus, are Hyper-V files (virtual drives and such) compatible to try other visualization software's like Virtualbox?

I´ve tryed another iso (the last one that I used for LIS instalation) and the Linux os doesn't recognize it...
I cant use Virtualbox. We have to use Hiper-V due to licences issues.

then i encourage you to contact Microsoft. this is their problem.

I´ve found next information bug:

WORKAROUND To work around this issue, mount the ISO in the virtual machine. To mount an ISO file in the virtual machine, the following command must be run before executing the mount command: # insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/ata/ata_piix.ko Alternatively, copy the ISO file into the virtual machine and mount it using the -o loop option.

Anybody knows what the sintaxis for the mount instruction with "-o loop option" is?

You could mount it with Furius Iso, Iso Master and so on or CLI should be

mount -t iso9660 -o loop <isoname>

but I don't think that's right you probably need to make a mount directory

sudo mkdir /media/iso
sudo mount /path/to/Software_HP_DP_8.00_for_HP-UX_TD586-15007.iso -o loop /media/iso
