Hi, My fstab file is set the same, I'm on RH7.2...
During boot, do you see the device recognized. Anything showing related to /mnt/(dev) that seems funny if you enter the command dmesg, or tail /var/log/messages? Maybe you could doublecheck permissions on the device ls -l cdrom would show permissions, and should show /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/hd*, you can then check permissions on /dev/hd* On my box brw-rw---- for /dev/hdc lrwxrwxrwx for /dev/cdrom later... ----Original Message Follows---- I'm having trouble 'seeing' the floppy drive or the CD-ROM. I'm running RedHat 7.2, in all previous versions I had no trouble reading the floppy or CD-ROM, for example just by going cd /mnt/cdrom ls But now this doesn't work any more. Doesn't matter whether I'm 'me' or su root, cd /mnt/cdrom and cd /mnt/floppy apparently work, but a following ls won't show the files. mdir usually seems to work, though. Nautilus and Konqueror show /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/floppy but not the contents. Konq in superuser mode shows a 'CDRom device' but then gives a message "Could not mount device The reported error was mount: /dev/cdrom: unknown device" On the other hand, /mnt/dosC works fine. /etc/fstab says: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 Any suggestions of what might be wrong? cr _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
