kilimanjaro Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I can't seem to access my cdroms, I have tried configuring them differently and it doesn't have any effect. I have tried in fluxbox and then in kde nothing works, this have been since I installed 10.0 OE [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 What does fstab look like? And, what does /mnt loolk like? I know you know this stuff, but going over it with someone else might discover the obvious! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted June 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Don't be too sure that I know this stuff. CD-RW: /mnt/cdrom Bus: ide Drive capacity: burner Channel: secondary New devfs device: /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd Old device file: /dev/hdc Media class: cdrom DVD: /mnt/cdrom2 Bus: ide Drive capacity: DVD Channel: secondary New devfs device: /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd Old device file: /dev/hdd Media class: cdrom Is this the kind of info you were talking about?

Ixthusdan Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 OK, I'll be more specific. Open the file /etc/fstab in a editor and post its contents here. Are you using the 2.6.x kernel? I might as well look at /etc/lilo.conf, too. If you could post these two files, I'll see if I can help! B) I noticed that your cd devices are on the same ide channel. I used to build computers avoiding that situation, as occassionally I encountered problems with two cd devices on the same channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted June 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I have had both both drives in the same ide for awhile, I haven't noticed any problems, but that doesn't mean that there hasn't been any. which one do you suggest I move on with the harddrive? # File generated by DrakX/drakboot # WARNING: do not forget to run lilo after modifying this file boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map default="linux" keytable=/boot/us.klt prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent" vga=788 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.3-7mdk label="263-7" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.3-7mdk.img append="devfs=mount acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 splash=silent" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe acpi=ht resume=/dev/hda5 devfs=nomount" read-only other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,--,umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,dev,codepage=850 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdd,fs=auto,exec,--,umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,dev,codepage=850 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Let's try something. Edit out the word "supermount" in the cd lines of fstab. Reboot, and see if either MagicMount works or if you can use the mount command in a console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted June 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hi IX I took out the supermount, and I tried mounting it in a konsole and it said that it was a directory, I don't know what mountmagic is. I still coundn't access my drive. I keep getting an error that says the permissions are wrong for /home/kilimanjaro/tmp/orbit-kilimanjaro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 My fstab no longer shows supermount, and the new mounting system in Mandrake 10 works fine on my system. It's the first linux automount that has worked. Here is my fstb /dev/hdd1 / reiserfs notail 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdd6 /home reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/win_d vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd7 /usr reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hdd5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd8 /mnt/SuSE_root reiserfs notail 1 2 /dev/hdd9 /mnt/SuSE_home reiserfs notail 1 2 The only thing showing supermount is my floppy, which I never use.

kilimanjaro Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi IX I changed my fstab to look like yours and it still won't work, I just noticed that when I try to open my cd drives there is a little lock symbol on the file browser, could there be a problem with permissions? I will try to open it as root and reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted June 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 no different as root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Are you sure your /mnt directory has the correctly named folders in it? It is really odd for root to not access a device! (actually, it is sort of an emergency!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ziogelis Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 (edited) Hi, I am having the problem described too. Just a few days ago I updated my mandrake from 9.2 to 10 official, and today I cannot access my cd drive. Here's my fstab file: /dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-13,sync,codepage=775 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,iocharset=iso8859-13,codepage=775,sync,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs iocharset=iso8859-13,umask=0,ro 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-13,codepage=775,umask=0 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 and my /etc/lilo.conf file is (surprisingly) empty.... But lilo.conf-old has this: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map vga=normal default="windows" keytable=/boot/ltb-latin7.klt prompt nowarn timeout=150 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda3 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht splash=silent" vga=791 read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux-nonfb" root=/dev/hda3 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label="failsafe" root=/dev/hda3 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="failsafe devfs=nomount hdc=ide-scsi acpi=ht" read-only other=/dev/hda1 label="windows" table=/dev/hda other=/dev/fd0 label="floppy" unsafe And I cannot do anything as root either... Could someone help me with this? Edited July 2, 2004 by ziogelis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted July 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Yeah, I thought it was kind of odd when I couldn't access as root. What folders should be in mnt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ziogelis Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Hey, finally, I accessed my cdrom, don't exactly know how, I did some changes quite randomly and it worked. Please ignore my last post, because the code displayed could be correct already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
