When I mount the cdrom , it pop the error , please advise what is the reason ? thx.

# mount /dev/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

Post your fstab and I (we)'ll help you sort it out

(/etc/fstab)

LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
#LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2

Hello,

You used the wrong syntax, that's:
#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
or
#mount /mnt/cdrom

thx reply ,

but still not work , could suggest what is wront ? thx

# mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems

ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

Where is your CD-ROM on your IDE devices (primary slave, secondary master or secondary slave)?

Try this:
mkdir /mnt/cd
mount /dev/hdb (for primary slave) /mnt/cd
mount /dev/hdc (for secondary master) /mnt/cd
mount /dev/hdd (for secondary slave) /mnt/cd

Diablo111 is right: /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/hdc (or hdd...). So check if the symlink is OK.
To find if your cdrom is on hdc or hdd, you can also have a look at /proc/ide/hdc/media (or /proc/ide/hdd/media)

So I turn my back a second and you guys go (almost) and solve the problem... Keep it going

Hey guys,

thx already for all the interesting replies to this topic. I've been using all your knowledge, but I still was not able to mount my cdrom.

some info:

system: Debian
kernel: 2.4.26-1-k7
cdrom = hdc (checked using the info in this discussion)


the error message after #mount /mnt/cdrom is slightly different than my fellow here:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

the difference is the fact that my system addresses my cdrom as /dev/hdc in the error message. But I think the actual problem will be exactly the same.

Thx for any suggestions!

What boot loader are you using? Is there a hdc=ide-scsi boot parameter?
Do you have a CD burner installed in this PC?

You might have to change permissions on /dev/hdc. Something like chmod a+rw /dev/hdc might do the trick.

I would suggest following the advice of the error message

mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0(or 1) /mnt/cdrom

thank you all! Problem solved here!

The trick I needed was charliecron's

I just changed /dev/hdc to /dev/sr0 in my fstab file, and now everythin works (of course I had to recreate the icons on my desktop as well).

cheers
