What happens when you try to mount the full command eg.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
I have problems sometimes where it doesn't know where to place it.. weird.
Also, is the CDROM on the primary master IDE slot as it looks like it's
pointing to it via /dev/hda..???

Subject: [SLUG] IDE cdrom gone AWOL
Sluggers,
I just tried to upgrade from deadrat 6.1 to 6.9. Seemed to go ago but
crashed with a few rpms still not installed. Re-ran the install and it
crashed again in the same place. I managed to get the system back on
it's feet and it has been running for about a week now. All is fine
except I can't mount the cdrom drive. It's the primary on the first
IDE, (hard disks are scsi). Shows up in the Bios ok, and the system
will boot from a cd so hardware is fine. Any ideas where to start?
(install Debian comments already taken on notice, but thanks anyway ;-)
Appropriate lines from /var/log/dmesg
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 21
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1860-0x1867, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1868-0x186f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hda: HITACHI CDR-8435, ATAPI CDROM drive
Other stuff....
% mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
% grep cdrom /etc/fstab

% ls -l /dev/cdrom

Kernel is 2.2.16-17smp,
though I've only got the one processor :-(
Thanks
