I've recently trashed a RH6.2 machine in favor of Debian Woody. This is an all SCSI machine, with a Plextor CD-RW. When I mount any CD, I get the following:
# mount /cdrom mount: /dev/cdrom is not a block device /cdrom, through /etc/fstab, points to /dev/cdrom: # cat /etc/fstab | grep cdrom /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom is a symlink to /dev/sr0: # ls -al /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 27 02:41 /dev/cdrom -> sr0 sr0 is recognized at boot-up: # dmesg | grep sr0 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Also, ISO9660 is compiled into the kernel. Any idea as to why I can't mount a CDROM? -- ____) ,_) ,_) (-(__ |_ _ _ |/ ____) | |(_)(_ |\ ( \_, _______________________________________________ | http://www.exitwound.org : hard to find | _______________________________________________ | BOFH excuse #296: The hardware bus needs a | | new token. | _______________________________________________ -------------BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK------------- | Version: 3.1 | | GJ/IT d- s: a C+++>$ UL++++ P+++ L+++ E--- W++| | N+@ o K- w O- M- V PS+ PE Y+ PGP++ t+@ 5@ X++ | | R tv+@ b+ DI++++ D+ G++ e++++ h---- r+++ y+++ | --------------END GEEK CODE BLOCK--------------
