Second cd-rom not working:P

Danielallan · 10-13-2004, 11:46 AM

I am running Slack 9.1 on a P2. I am having problems getting a dvd-rom and a cd-rw to work on my system. They both work standalone with my system with no problems, but when I plug them both in at the same time my system only sees the master drive. The Bios and the Boot "see" the cd-rw and the dvd-rom and they are assigned hdc and hdd. I have searched and couldn't find anything revelant to my problem. If there is a thread for this problem please point me in the right direction(URL), if not any suggestions?

Sincerely,

Danielallan

You need to add an entry in the /etc/fstab file to allow any user to mount the drive. Here is the line you will need to add(I'm assuming your dvd drive is hdd):

Code:

/dev/hdd  /mnt/dvd  iso9660  noauto,user,ro  0   0

You will also need to create the /mnt/dvd directory.

Code:

mkdir /mnt/dvd

Now any user should be able to mount the dvd drive.

Thank you very much!

Didn't seem that hard but I don't really play with fstab that much os thank you for your help.
