have you got isofs built into the kernel or as a module, if its a module try modprobing it before you mount, also might be worth a check where /dev/cdrom points to
i have pretty much no expertise with scsi so i'll end my contribution to this thread with this silly question: have you tried other cd's in the drive, cos it could be scratched cd?
I'm trying to mount my DVD drive to /dvdrom. I tried the commands prescribed to zLinuxz. Here is the error message I get:
Code:
bash-3.1# mkdir /dvdrom
bash-3.1# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /dvdrom
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
And here is dmesg |tail as the above error message suggests:
bash-3.1# cd /mnt/cdrom
bash-3.1# ls
bash-3.1# exit
exit
bash-3.1$
Here is mount if interested:
Code:
bash-3.1# mount
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /home/ntfs type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
bash-3.1#
I installed a new PSU, which means I was playing with the power cord connected to the DVD rom bay, however the bay opens and closes easily, allowing me to insert and audio disk.
I am btw running Slackware 12.1 stock kernel.
