Hemtah Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 :-(((( when i have rebooted my computer, i cannot view any contents of any CD...why?? help me please. i have tried to mount both cdrom using the following command mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom with a data media and nothing :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 (edited) do the files /mnt/cdrom2 and /mnt/cdrom exist? (OK so you have probably already checked this :D ) what happens when you put a cd into your dvd drive and type mount cdrom2 also, although this may be a typo in your post, the ISO9660 entry should be iso9660 Leo Edited December 21, 2004 by Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemtah Posted December 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 hi Leo, yes, the iso entry is already in lower charactere and when i am doing mount i have [root@localhost mnt]# ls cdrom/ cdrom2/ floppy/ win_c/ win_c2/ [root@localhost mnt]# mount cdrom mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdc is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom [root@localhost mnt]# mount cdrom2 mount: No medium found [root@localhost mnt]# note that i have already mounted the cdrom with the following command mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom the thing when i do that i can view the contents then when i reboot i have to type this again why?

adamw Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 It's not some kind of hardware configuration problem, is it? Have you checked the master / slave settings on the drives? Make sure the drive that's "hdc" is set to master, the drive that's "hdd" is set to slave, and *neither* is set to cable select... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemtah Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I have checked that even if on windows xp everything work fine, cdrw and dvdrom are set with the correct jumper setting. also could you tell me how can i check the DMA setting of my devices, look like my hdd drive are so slow...

Leo Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 when i am doing mount i have [root@localhost mnt]# ls cdrom/ cdrom2/ floppy/ win_c/ win_c2/ [root@localhost mnt]# mount cdrom mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdc is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom <{POST_SNAPBACK}> have you looked in mtab to see what it reckons is currently mounted? You could also try umount /mnt/cdrom and then attempt to remount [root@localhost mnt]# mount cdrom2mount: No medium found <{POST_SNAPBACK}> silly question I know, but there is a CD to read in cdrom2 isn't there (I've done this before)? note that i have already mounted the cdrom with the following command mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom the thing when i do that i can view the contents then when i reboot i have to type this again why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am not sure if I am answering the right question here but when you shutdown the shutdown script unmounts all mounted volumes and unless they are marked as auto in your /etc/fstab they will not be remounted at startup (you would also need a CD in the drive to successfully mount the drive, this is not a good idea :D ) Any use?

Hemtah Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 what i am asking, is if i insert a cdrom on any cdrom drive, i want to view the contents without doing mount command etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) check to see if you have magicdev installed. it's a replacement for supermount. it automatically mounts/unmounts drives. in terminal as root do........ rpm -qa|grep magicdev if it finds nothing, that means it isn't installed. to install it, either use Mandrake Control Center->software management->install & type magicdev in the search, or in terminal as root do........ urpmi magicdev magicdev seems to be an improvement over the old supermount, but i don't personally use it because i prefer to mount/unmount manually. edit: note, if you want to, & you're using KDE, you can also right click the desktop, choose create new->device, set the path to that device, & create a desktop icon for it. then, when you right click the icon, you will have an option to mount/unmount the device. just a suggestion if you decide to go the magicdev route & you find you don't like it or it's giving you problems.

Gowator Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 I agree with chriz but for historical reasons I got used to uninstalling supermount and doing it manually... It just got to be a habit.. and I add the options user so I can do it as a user... I haven't actually tried magicdev... I was so used to doing it by hand!

Hemtah Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 that's mean each time u are mounting and unmouting the cdriom i have it on my mdk. well when starting mdk, supermount is not supported on my mdk, maybe because i have compiled the kernel 2.6.6 vanilla on my mdk dunno.

Hemtah Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 consider it's solved thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 hemtah: supermount has to be built in to the kernel, yes. magicdev may work with just a stock kernel, i really don't know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
