DVD mounting problem


When I try to mount a DVD (by typing mount /mnt/cdrom) I get this message:
Quote:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so
So, I tried dmesg | tail and I got:
Quote:
...
hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: irq timeout: error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d
hdc: DMA disabled
hdc: ATAPI reset complete
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
Here's my entry in fstab file:
Quote:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0
In my BIOS Setup, MASTER device on secondary channel is HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B. At the right of "SLAVE device on secondary channel" is nothing, so I assume I don't need to use /dev/hdd to mount a DVD. Any ideas?
PS: In Windows, seems to be no problem with the DVD.
PS1: I use the Linux kernel version 2.4.31

I created another entry in fstab file:
Quote:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/dvdrom udf noauto,user,ro 0 0
The correct filesystem is udf (at least for dvds). I'll check tomorrow the man mount to adjust this entry. However, it worked!
