mount : No medium found
Hi
I'm using Fedora Core 3. Dual Boot with XP. I can't seem to mount the cdrom --> # mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom mount: No medium found OR mount /media/cdrom mount: No medium found OR mount /media/cdrom -t iso9660 mount: No medium found The cd (tried more than one cd) is not corrupt and it is a data cd. Linux recognizes the cdrom since the eject command opens the cdrom. The cd rom is not defective cause I used it to install Fedora. fstab entries: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 dmesg has the following output (snip - only included what I thought is relevant) hdc: CD-956E/AKV, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 Probing IDE interface ide2... ide2: Wait for ready failed before probe ! Probing IDE interface ide3... ide3: Wait for ready failed before probe ! Probing IDE interface ide4... ide4: Wait for ready failed before probe ! Probing IDE interface ide5... ide5: Wait for ready failed before probe ! hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 I did create a soft link to /dev/cdrom from /dev/hdc (Don't know if this is necessary though...) ]# ls -lah /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jan 10 13:27 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc Still no success. - I can't hear the cdrom spinning after inserting a cd... - I have tried disabling DMA but it had no effect. var/log/messages has the following entry after I tried to mount: kernel: cdrom: open failed. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. I'm stumped Thanks Ali --------- The teacher appears when the student is ready |
Well, you may want to make sure that /dev/hdc is indeed your cdrom (that means it needs to be the master device on the secondary IDE controller). If you have your hard drive as /dev/hda and your cdrom drive is slaved to it, then your proper device name for the cdrom would be /dev/hdb (it's common to have it setup this way).
Well, just a thought. |
Fedora Core 3 does not use the /mnt directory. It now uses the /media directory.
If you would still like to use the /mnt directory issue the following commands as root: Code:
cd / Hope this helps! Edit: Oops, disregard. I didn't catch that you already tried /media. |
