Hi there,

ok, so I finally made a clean install of Madriva 2006.

I have a big problem now:

My DVD drive doesn't mount automatically when i put a CD or DVD in.
My CD burner mounts without a problem.

If i mount the DVD drive manually, i can access my files without a problem. But it doesnt auto mount.

I already tried activating Supermount, but my system hangs when i put a cd or dvd in when it is enabled.

Here is my fstab (the DVD drive is cdrom2):


Any suggestions?

Ill watch this thread myself as I have had CD mount problems all the way since Mandrake 10 and Mandriva is the only one that has given me a really useable drive . It mounts drives automatically and unmounts them when I take the dik out . Finally it worke like I would expect it to.

Do you have the devices icon on the Desktop and does the DVD mount in there?

Here is my fstab

Lost the edit button
So notice umask=0022 yours is umask=0
Try changing this maybe

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
My automounting fstab entries for dvd rom & dvd burner

/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
bobbelfield's automounting entries

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,ro,users 0 0 none
Your top entry automounting, bottom entry not automounting.

Try this line out for your cdrom2 entry:
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0

First of all, just a suggestion, if you post a log or a file, please post it with the right structure.
It's hard to follow all your mount points across the lines.
If yuor DVD it's the /dev/hdc mounted as cdrom, it's necessary to remove the noauto option from
fstab.

I may be wrong, but if you don't have the "noauto" option when you boot your system it will try to mount the cd or dvd, regardless of whether there is media in it. Not so sure you want that option for removable media.
