CDROM mount? problem


Problem - Mount problem? attempting to use CDROM causes system freeze.
Distribution Mandrake 10.0

Bios information - Sony CDR/RW is master and only device on secondary ide

Harddrake information for hdc
Bus: ide
Drive Capacity: burner
Channel:secondary
New devfs device: /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
Old device file: /dev/hdc
Media class: cdrom

/var/log/messages on boot
localhost kernel: hdc: Sony CD-RW CRX230E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
localhost kernel: ide1 at 0X170-0X177, 0x3f6 on irq 15
localhost kernel: hdc:ATAPI 52X CD-ROM CD-R/RW CD-MRW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)
localhost kernel: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20

fstab
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,exec,--,user,sync,suid 0 0
mtab
none /mnt/cdrom supermount ro,noexec,nodev,sync,dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,-- 0 0

When trying to access data CD using desktop icon the system crashes after displaying this error message:

Warning Kwin
Window with title devices:/devhdcmntcdrom - Konqueror"is not responding.
Window belongs to application Konqueror PID2411 hostname localhost

If i try and mount /dev/cdrom as root the system also crashes.

The only thing which I know was odd about the instal was that to get the CD to load I had to specify "expert ide=nodma"at the splash screen.

Try changing the fstab entry for your CDRW so that it doesn't use supermount. I've had problems with it refusing to mount the install CD's automatically the first time I rebooted my pc after installing.
Code:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,exec 0 0
You will need to mount the cd's manually in a terminal using "mount /dev/hdc" or "mount /mnt/cdrom" or if you use KDE, right click on your desktop and create a new CD-ROM device icon which will allow you to right click on the icon to mount/umount.
If things are still dodgy after that try adding "ide=nodma" to the kernel append lines in your bootloader.

you can also disable/enable supermount via the command line, without having to edit fstab. in terminal as root do...........

supermount -i disable

or

supermount -i enable

Disabling supermount, modifying the etc/fstab cdrom mount entries and appending ide=nodma to lilo.conf have done the trick.
Thanks for the help.
