Hi, All,
I have dsl ver2.1 installed to a HD on an older computer. I've been trying to mount a CD, and I keep getting an error that says "Mount cannot find CD-ROM in /etc/fstab". I checked the fstab, and it IS there, and is NOT commented out. Anyone run into this one?

Thanks,


Steve

Now, that''s Damn Small!

Hi,
try posting the cdrom-line of the fstab. maybe there is something. Or else silly question but have you got a cd in your drive?

if yes do a: "dmesg |grep hdd" and post what it says...

Hi, freeze,
I got frustrated with the whole thing last night, and ended up doing a full reinstall b4 I went to bed. The CD-ROM seems to be working ok now. One question I have, concerning emelfm, is that there are 3 separate places for the CD-ROM, but the only one that seems to work is under /cdrom. One of them is under /mnt/cdrom. If I try to mount, umount, or open a cd, I get an error that says: can't find /mnt/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab. Here is the cdrom line from my fstab:

/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0

If these other 2 mount points aren't supposed to work, why are they there? This file system seems to be set up a bit different than a standard linux file system.

Thanks,

Steve ???
