anyone know how i might go about changing the cdrom that is default for the rpmdrake or urpmi....

for some reason it changed itself from mnt/cdrom to some /dev thing?

umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
eject: unmount of `/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd' failed
Please insert the medium named "Installation CD 4 (x86) (cdrom4)" on device [/dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd]
Press Enter when ready...

that is the error that i get





any ideas?

/dev is where your devices are listed. /mnt/cdrom is where the /dev device will be mounted when it is mounted. Your CD might be in your /dev folder as /dev/scd0 or /dev/cdrom depending on how you have set up lilo and fstab. So...

Post the contents of the file /etc/fstab

here is the contents of /etc/fstab

/dev/hda5 / ext2 noatime 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

Coud you look inside /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg? There should be several lines for each CD, including a line specifying the device location.

it worked for a while, and then i just started to have these problems i dunno

Well, in /etc/fstab you have /dev/hdc, and in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg you have /dev/cdrom. Why don't you try changing the device location in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg and see if it works? I'm not sure if this will fix it or not, so let us know what happens.

ok, i changed the 'removable' value in /etc/urpmi.cfg to /dev/hdc and /mnt/cdrom and neither one of those fixes seemed to correct the problem...
