Compaq Proliant will not mount CD-ROM drive while attempting to load hardy server


The CD-ROM drive functions fine (i have tried 3 different ones) and the server is setup to run linux OS but when the installation process is engaged it fails at mounting the CD-ROM drive and this error is always echoed to the screen prior to the CD being read: (don't know if the 2 are related at all) "MP BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC"

well this is a /etc/fstab problem not sure why it is not loading it from proc to sytem and th mtab is not creating a link but if all else make sure the user has permission to use disk cdrom pludev. if that does not work then hard link it and mount it. with the /etc/fstab
create a folder in /mnt/ and call it cdrom /mnt/cdrom a hard link in fstab looks like this.

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,users,ro 0 0
now make sure in bios you have cdrom set to auto. what ever it is to enable it.
