CDrom stopped workingForum: HD Install Topic: CDrom stopped working started by: burningsun Posted by burningsun on July 03 2005,20:54
ok , I'm running DSLinux, ext2, P233mhz, 2GB HD, 32mb RAMI have DSL installed on my harddrive, everything was working fine, cdrom, floppy. I created a swapfile for dsl in /opt , the swapfile works fine. CDrom and Floppy stopped working. The specific error on boot is mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock -on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems. So then I removed the swapfile from loading at boot in fstab, thinking that I would be able to access my cdrom and floppy again but this didn't work. From what I've been reading it seems that it is perhaps (most likely) it was a symlink that is now pointing to the wrong place (for some unknown reason). I try mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom and I get /dev/cdrom: Input/output error mount:block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only /dev/cdrom: Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type. I also tried mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom and that gives me the error, mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock -on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems. My goal is to get my cdrom and floppy drive working again. Please help. Posted by cbagger01 on July 04 2005,04:53
Maybe you really have too many mounted filesystems.Does: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom or mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom work? |
