I can't mount floppies or cdrom now - It suddenly stopped working, after years of no problems. As root, I type: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt or mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
When I do that, I hear my floppy clicking, or my cdrom noise if I'm trying to mount that, but then "mount" freezes up and I have to X out of the whole xterm. I changed fstab to remove "noauto" for the cdrom, rebooted, and was then able to use the cdrom, but the same process didn't work for the floppy. I recently deleted /mnt, and then made the directory again <mkdir /mnt>, and I [EMAIL PROTECTED] that may be a "clue." The permissions for that dir are: drwxr-xr-x 5 root root My /etc/fstab file as follows (I've changed it around a little since the prob): /dev/hda6 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrom /mnt iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt ext2 defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 Any clues/pointers?? Thanks a lot. - Chip [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
