"mount: no medium found"

after trying to read my cdrom and cdburner from the newly created desktop icons (created via right click through KDE) I now get the error message on both drives "mount: no medium found" even though both drives used to work just fine. no system changes since the issue arose.

tried manually mounting/unmounting/remounting them, tried enabling/disabling supermount, tried letting harddrake set them, double checked the fstab.. (included here in latest revision) (note, cdrom2 is a cdrw)

 

/dev/hdc1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdc7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,unhide,codepa /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom auto ge=850
,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noa /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto uto,r
o,exec 0 0
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset none /mnt/floppy supermount =is
o8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc5 swap swap defaults 0 0

 

would it be an option to delete their entries from the fstab and let harddrake "rediscover them"? since they worked fine on initial install?

 

the only thing that I know happened was that I created desktop icons to access the drives through via the KDE right click menu to create a link to a device... I think that was the point from which everything went miserable..

 

latest revised cut-n-pasted fstab

/dev/hdc1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdc7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdf1 /home/shares/drive1 vfat umask=0,defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0022,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc6 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc5 swap swap defaults 0 0

Is this your current fstab copy and pasted or written by hand? Cuz there's some syntax errors:

umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,unhide,codepa /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom auto ge=850

,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noa /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto uto,r

o,exec 0 0

dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset none /mnt/floppy supermount =iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0

 

Note that the parts highlighted in bold look they are split by the stuff in between.

 

Should be more like this:

/dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,unhide,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0

/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,ro,exec 0 0

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0

 

Here's mine (/dev/hdd is my dvd burner):

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0

/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0

none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0

 

There should be an option in KDE Control Center to show icons for devices without adding them with a right-click. Look-N-Feel->Behavior->Device Icons tab.
