CD mount?
 
Hello

When waiting for my downloads to get ready and my concentration to get back, so I can compile a new kernel, I decided to install warcraft 3 from my CD. The problem is that linux cant seem to find my cd-drives at all... /media/cdrom /media/cdrom0 and /media/cdrom1 are all empty, no matter what discs I insert.

My /etc/fstab

Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>  <type>  <options>    <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc          proc    defaults              0      0
/dev/hdc3      /              ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0      1
/dev/hdc2      none            swap    sw              0      0
/dev/hda        /media/cdrom0  iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0      0
/dev/hdb        /media/cdrom1  iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0      0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0      0
/dev/hdc1        /windows        ntfs        defaults        0        0
/dev/hdd5        /hdd1                ntfs        defaults        0        0
/dev/hdd6        /hdd2                vfat        umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,quiet,user        0        0
none                /sys                sysfs        defaults        0        0

Did you try to mount manually?
Code:
$ mount /dev/hda
Though, hda as a cdrom is strange...

Maybe the cdfs / isofs is not in your current kernel, try to insmod it.

HTH,

Peter

I do not want to spoil you......Aaaaa....never mind.
Evil chmodding always helps;) :jawa:
$su
$chmod 666 /dev/hda*
$chmod 666 /dev/hdb*
Then mount

I've found it kind of wierd too, that hda and hdb are my cdroms, but I've never had any problems with having my hard drives as hdc and hdd, so I never cared. Ill try your ideas!

The idea is not to use cdrom as a Primary Master. C'est tout

Trying to mount manually gives:

Wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, or too many mounted filesystems.

Fs type should be correct, superblock says nothing to me, and I have no idea of how many filesystems is the maximum to mount :D

hdb on the other hand seem to have mounted OK... :S

hda is a DVD-drive, maybe that's why? another fs perhaps?

After you've changed your fstab don't forget to
#su
#mount -a

Perhaps it's not a good idea to have a cd-drive as prim master, and my BIOS says my prim master is my hard drive. very spooky :S

what does dmesg say?

TaNeK 01-07-2005 07:52 AM
it all worked now, probably something wrong with my disc in /dev/hda :S thanks all!
