Exclamation CD Drives not working in Slackware 9.1

Hi,
I've just changed my Yamaha CD-RW for a LG CD-RW (8081B) and a Samsung CD drive. I can't mount CDs in the drives or play audio CDs.
Here is my dmesg:

what errors do you get on " mount /mnt/cdrom " or " mount /mnt/cdrw " ?

Hi, Can you mount them when you are logged in as root? Could be a permission problem. I wonder if you have to remove the "owner" parameter from /etc/fstab?

Hi again,
I've tried mounting as root and removing owner and it still doesn't work. The error messages are:
Code:
root@linux:/mnt# mount /mnt/cdrw
mount: No medium found

root@linux:/mnt# mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: Not a directory

do you have a music-cd in the drive ?
if so, use a data-cd; music-cd's don't have a file-system so they cannot be mounted.

and do you have a mount-point " /mnt/cdrom " ?
if not create it with " #mkdir /mnt/cdrom " ( it's just an empty dir. )

The mount point exists and I was trying to mount a data CD which I had used before with my old CD drive.

I would check those things
-- replacing the occourence of scd0 with sr0 in your /etc/fstab.
-- removing the "owner" option from the lines containing "scd0" and "hdb"
-- try mounting those devices with the command
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrw
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom
Hope this helps
Ciao

Hi

As root, try 'mount /dev/cdrom' (instead of mount /mnt/cdrom) to gain access to /mnt/cdwhatever. At least that's what works on my Slack system.

Edit: Whoops, never mind. Judging by your fstab you should 'mount /dev/scd0' for access to /mnt/cdrw or for the other drive, 'mount /dev/hdb' for access to /mnt/cdrom.

I'm probably wrong though.

i thought you didnt have to mount a cd to burn it? i am trying to play a music cd under slackware 10 and it will not mount. I gives this error message:

bash-2.05b# mount cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems

egag mentioned something about music cds not having a file system. how can i play music cds? the cdrom mounts data cds just fine

Hi,
To play CDs use a cdplayer like kscd. I'm away from my PC at the moment again but I'll try out your ideas when I get back home.

Thanks for all your help

Jon

EDIT: I tried to burn a CD and it didn't work
