Can't locate module cdrom
I just got slackware9.1 setup, I installed it from the cd's at boot. I first encountered some problems with my nic card and found the file to fix it with, burned it to a cd and discovered my linux box won't show tar file on the cd.
I checked and my cdrom is being mounted but when I run modprobe it returns "can't locate module cdrom" I searched around and tried to file the libraries... "find /lib -iname "*cdrom*" which returned... "/lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/cdrom" I'm pretty much stuck right here, I'm still very new to linux and just really don't know what to do now that I know the location of that module. ~Chris |
if you've mounted the cdrom, look in /mnt/cdrom for the tarball.

I'm looking at it right now in KDE it shows 0 items 0 files 0 directories. I thought it might just be the cd I burned, but I tried to put one of the slackware cd's in there and it shows the same thing.

you have to mount it before you can read from it.
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom then cd /mnt/cdrom then ls your file should be there. good luck. |
Wow, I could have sworn I did that earlier. But it worked!! Thanks PEACEDOG!
