Hey all,

I made a clean install of Suse 8.1 from my cdrom drive. After that I
browsed that cd once, but now it has decided not to work anymore.
I don't know what changed that it decided no to work anymore....

The error I get when I try to mount is: mount: No medium found.

There is a cd in the drive. This is the hwinfo:
11: IDE 02.0: 10602 CD-ROM
[Created at ide.122]
Unique ID: hY5p.WzlQpYr6gc9
Hardware Class: cdrom
Model: "ASUS CD-S400/A"
Device: "ASUS CD-S400/A"
Revision: "V2.0S"
Serial ID: ""
Driver: "ide-cdrom"
Device File: /dev/hdc
Size: 0 sectors a 512 bytes
Drive status: no medium
Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no
Attached to: #4 (IDE interface)
Drive Speed: 40

This is what's in my fstab:
/dev/hdb4 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdb1 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0

I have looked all around the web and found some pointers, but they
didn't help me... Any one have an idea???

Take care,
Dirk

Nobody a clue?

I hope this link will help you:

Have a lot of fun ;-)

Instead of lilo you may use grub.

Find this in file:/boot/grub/menu.lst


Have a lot more fun ;-)

Suse going the ``Pay per view'' route? :-)

Have you tried mounting it the old-fashioned way? As root, issue:

mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdc /media/cdrom

If that fails, suspect the hardware.

Good luck,
Rick
