Hi, I just installed Red Hat Linux 7.2 today, and the install went just fine. The only problem I have is I can't mount my CD-ROM drive. Using 'dmesg', I see the following:
scsi(): SCSI Host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: HP Model:CD-Writer+ 8000 Rev: 2.5C Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI Revision: 02 I have tried the GNOME desktop interface to mount the CD-ROM, as well as the command-line: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom and invariably I get the following output: mount: /dev/cdrom: unknown device Also, I tried to manually edit the /etc/fstab file to mount the CD-ROM at startup, but I get the same "unkown device" error there too. To make things even more bewildering, the first time I installed this very same RH version using the very same CD a few hours prior (I reinstalled because I had entered a 105-key keyboard instead of 104-key), the CD-ROM mounted just fine!! I haev since tried reinstalling three times, to no avail. I have seen the OS detect this device during 1) installation, 2) startup, and 3)'dmesg'. (During installation it detected it as hdc: CD-ROM, which is correct, Secondary Master.) So why then is the CD-ROM not mounting????? Any and all help is much appreciated, Brian _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
