Hi, all !

I'am runing slackware64 , everything is almost perfect, but a little issue at the booting time , every time i boot my system there is a msgs " mount /dev/hdc no medium found , try again" shows up for five times , and after iptables part finished , that "mount /dev/hdc no medium found " thing performed 5 times again, I noticed that because it really takes time , about 10secs, and i want system booting speeded up badly , after system booting, cdrom works very well.
Is it normal ? any way i can do to pass that part , or at least make it not "try again " for 10 times ?

thanks !

what does your /etc/fstab file says about the device/dev/sdc?

anything wrong there?

Comment all the lines out that contain /dev/sdc. Your computer is trying to mount the entries in there; if a device doesn't exist, as in this case, it errors.

if i did that , cdrom would be mounted automatically when i put a cd in cdrom ?
i wanted it to be mounted automatically !

Try this line:
Make sure you have the cdrom directory in /media.


P.S. Not too familiar with Slackware

I'll try , thanks you very much !
