Starcraft in Wine froze [had to reset], now CDROM won't mount!
I get
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
I was able to mount until just recently. The drive works correctly, because it still spins up and loads a bootable cdrom. I don't think it is too many mounted devices because I can mount my floppy and have unmounted my XP partition and it still won't mount.
I uninstalled wine and deleted all the extra files under /usr/bin/wine and /usr/lib/wine, but now what?
Oh and some other things that could be helpful:
[ben@kitties ben]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Feb 6 00:39 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
It looks like I'm going to have to reformat....
Btw I reposted this message cause I later found that my first subject didn't hint at the real problem enough.
Where are you mounting the cdrom? Did you try to mount as root? If it works as root, give users permissions to the driver with chown 666 /dev/cdrom and chmod 666 /dev/cdrom.
Root should be able to mount/umount the cdrom. If not, check the process running and see if any of those could be using the cdrom. If you find it, kill the application with killall -9 <application_name>.
If still does not work, kill X server and try to mount/umount the driver under cli and see if it helps. Well, those are all my cards so far
Ok I killed X, but it restarted. I logged in and then went to init 3, then init 1, and into root. I tried to mount it, and this time I got:
I/O error: dev 0b:00 sector 762972
I/O error: dev 0b:00 sector (lots more of the above, i.e 762536)
I/O error: dev 0b:00 sector 1048 [and 1024]
UDF-fs: No partition found (1)
I/O Error: dev 0b:00, sector 64
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev= 0b:00, iso_blknum=16, block=16
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
Then I went to init 5, but it didn't bring up the gui. Then I went root and it started the gui. So I booted into ben. NOW IT MOUNTS THE CDROM!!!! But why now and not before? When I log into root and then into ben, does that have something to do with it?
