RE: [newbie] supermount-- I am unable to mount cdrom and floppy
I have the same problem and fortunately I discovered the solution in the mandrake page; it is a bug of kudzu; you must run linux as root, see the name of your problematic cdrom under linux (probably cdrom or cdrom2) and then type the next order (I suppose that the name of your cd driver under linux is cdrom, if not change for the correct one, ins. cdrom2, cdrom3..) cd /dev rm cdrom ln -s scd0 rom To the question that the linux gives you say yes... And now, everything is runing ¡I hope!; If you still have problems se the next mandrake page: http://www.linux-mandraque.com/en/demos/CDburner/pages Have luck Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain) -Mensaje original- De: S.

Re: [newbie] supermount-- I am unable to mount cdrom and floppy
Yes I have been to that very exact page at mandrake demos, and typed in exactly what it said to do here http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Tutorial/CDburner/pages/ However that has not solved my problem with accessing the drives, I have the problem with both the cdrom and the floppy drive. It has something to do with the "supermount" feature/ hmm, should i say bug. I am really getting tired, I have received many replies to my many posts about this at different sites. I have tried most everyone of the possible fixes. It is to no avail. and if you are wondering if my cdrom is detected by linux? Yes, it is listed properly in the system info. And then the question, why am I having the same problem with the floppy?? ONLY thing that correlates is that both cdrom and floppy have "supermount" listed on them in the fstab file. So WHAT DO I DO, anyone have a clue?? I am really disgusted with this, is there someone at mandrake to talk to?? Please advise.

Re: [newbie] supermount-- I am unable to mount cdrom and floppy
Susan: I have found the same (or similar) problem. Actually, I consistently have the problem when I physically remove a CD drive from the machine (kudzu removes it on re-boot). When I replace the CD drive, everything looks great - like the drive is there (kudzu sees it, and re-installs it) - but I get the same messages you do. So far, the only solution I have found is to re-install Mandrake and leave the CD drive in. However, I am working with 60 machines - only 10 have CD drives. I now set up Samba so that I do not need the CD drive, and can remove it, accessing my rpms from the Samba server. I know this doesn't "solve" the problem - but perhaps it helps to shed some light. Best wishes.
