How about trying the devfs=nomount option in lilo.conf. This most likey has nothing to do with your cdrom but you could give it a go. I had to do that to stop a whole lot of boot/error messages I was getting about a kernel bug and the zip, floppy, cdrom, cdrw drives being already registered (although everything was working OK anyway). Mandrake were already aware of the problem I was having a little while back and they recommended editing the lilo.conf file. They were working on fix then, so I guess by now that they will have already fixed the problem in a more recent kernel. skinky -- But what ... is it good for?

Re: [newbie] mount umount cdrom
Ciao, Many of us are having problems with LM8.1's Supermount. Some of the suggestions that I've seen have been to use KDF (Kdiskfree) and/or add CDRom icons to the Desktop. Although these give us the ability to access the removable media, it is an awkward step backwards. So I'm starting this thread to hopefully help those that are having this problem and of course, the many that will encounter this problem. If some of these methods don't work, please contribute to this solution. - LM8.1 Supermount - Getting the darn thing to work. - FYI. I've been fooling around with the CDRoms and Floppy lines in fstab and got Supermount to work for both the CDRoms and Floppy drive. Try these lines (one line per device): /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/hdc,ro,nosuid,nodev,exec 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2/mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0,ro,nosuid,nodev,exec 0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0,nosuid,nodev,exec 0 0 After saving /etc/fstab with your new lines, do a umount -a and then mount -a Now they should mount automatically. Observations: Some things that oddly caused this Not to work: fs=auto - (instead, I had to use iso9660 for the CDRoms and vfat for the floppy) iocharset=iso8859-1, codepage=850 - (I just removed these because they kept interferring with Supermount) Good Luck, Sevatio On Wednesday 24 October 2001 04:11am, you wrote: Hi everyone...

Re: [newbie] mount umount cdrom
Grr.. I'm not sure what the problem is here, but this is still not working for me. My porblem is a little different in that supermounting works fine, I get a nice little icon on my desktop and everything, with data cds. But I still can't read from or play audio cd's. I've tried all of the suggestions up untill now. Do we know what is happening with the cd rom issues everybody has been happening, and do you think mine is related, or something else entirely? -Paul Rodríguez On Wed, 2001-10-24 at 07:21, Sevatio wrote: Ciao, Many of us are having problems with LM8.1's Supermount.

In my case when I stick an audio cd in my drive, I need to fire up CD-player (multimedia - sound) to get it to playback, that is to hear the music. There isn't any need to mount (auto or not) an audio-cd. You can't get there through your standard desktop-icons (be they device- or file-links) as they only fire up kfm, which is fairly restricted in its audio capabilities:o) B.t.w. I think automount sucks (on a thinkpad it's a nightmare) so I've disabled it using: supermount -disable on a su coimmandline. Good luck! Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
