Why can't I read the CD drive ?


Can anyone suggest why I cant read/mount my CD-RW drive after an upgrade from RH (whitebox) to FC4 (using the ISO's on CD-ROMs) ? The installaton was smooth from CD and everything seemed to have setup ok.

0) uname -a
Linux xxx.yyy 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
1) Currently, the hardware browser shows CD-ROM drives as "Sony CD-RW CRX140E, Driver: none or built-in, Device: /dev/scd0";
2) fstab has :
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
3) Mount command fails :
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom/
mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
missing codepage or other error
- or -
# mount /dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder/
mount: you must specify the filesystem type


4) dmesg | tail
sr0: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16

more dmesg info shows the following :

mounted ok... after reboot.

It mounted ok after reboot (from the user mount tool). Not sure why. But works fine now. All's good.
