updating /etc/fstab
when bootin iv just noticed it says
updating /etc/fstab cannot stat /dev/cdrom no such file or directory is this why my cd rom isnt workin and is there any way to fix it ? |
What distro are you using? (I'd hate it
if my distro decided to do things like that on my behalf during a normal boot, btw, that's just as evil as winDOHs ;})... That message probably just means that you haven't got a symlink from your physical device (/dev/hd?, /dev/scd?) to /dev/cdrom ... Cheers, Tink |
redhat 9 shrike i686 and there is no cd rom detected at all when i boot into gnome or KDE
|
aslo the dvd and cdrom flashes red from the console
[j@dhcp-194-1986063 j]$ ls -l /dev/dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Dec 28 02:02 /dev/dvd -> cdrom |
Do an
ls -l /dev/cdrom and see if it's pointing to /dev/hdd or whatever as mentioned if not try linking it ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom |
tried the command you said in the console and i didnt get any errors but i rebooted and still get the same error about no such file or directory ,.....
|
What was the output from the commands that looking_lost posted?
|
finally got it working just did the command mount /dev/scd0 and everything works fine now :D thanks for the help ;)
