sttroopers Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Mandrake 10 community installed just fine, or so I thought. I cant seem to access my Plextor PX-708A CD/DVD Burner. I know the drive is working fine but when I try to mount either a CD or DVD I get this message: "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems" Here are the relevant parts of my lilo.conf and fstab: lilo append="noapic devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hde5" fstab /dev/hde1 / reiserfs notail 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hde6 /home reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 umask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 /dev/hda6 /mnt/win_e vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hde5 swap swap defaults 0 0 Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 What exactly are you trying to mount? Linux does not mount music CDs or movie DVDs. You play them through pointing the media player of your choice to their /dev/ file like /dev/hdc. Sorry if you are not that n00bie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sttroopers Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 For example, if I try to mount one of my mandrake discs I get that message. Same thing if I try to brouse a data cd or dvd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sttroopers Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I cant even install software via RPMDrake. Just keeps asking for the disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Make your fstab entry look like this: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 yep, looks like you're missing auto and make sure magicdev is installed (should be already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sttroopers Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Ok thanks guys. I'll give that a try. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sttroopers Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 No luck. Still get the same message... mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) just for kicks, what is your fstab line now, exactly, for /dev/hdc? Edited March 15, 2004 by Steve Scrimpshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sttroopers Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Here's my complete fstab: /dev/hde1 / reiserfs notail 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hde6 /home reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0 /dev/hda6 /mnt/win_e vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hde5 swap swap defaults 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Other than making sure that magicdev is installed, I'm at a loss. Just in case it might be important to someone else who may come along, post the output of rpm -qa | grep magicdev and ls -l /dev/hdc [root@laptop omar]# rpm -qa | grep magicdev magicdev-1.1.5-6mdk [root@laptop omar]# ls -l /dev/hdc lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30 Mar 13 18:50 /dev/hdc -> ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sttroopers Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 magicdev-1.1.5-6mdk brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 22, 0 Mar 8 12:38 /dev/hdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 (edited) hmmmm...have you rebooted since you edited fstab? I'm afraid it is necessary. Edit: Anyone else know why /dev/hdc is not a symlink to /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd in this case?

sttroopers Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Yes, I've rebooted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
