No, no idea, I check code (it could have been created by install automatically to /mnt/cdrom by the media used to install). After that, it could be a mix in /etc/fstab (?) as urpmi use /etc/fstab to reverse mount point found in path so it could be the problem. What have you do to get /mnt/cdrom2 and /mnt/cdrom (if you changed by hand) else it could be a problem in install. François.
