Topic: mounting the CD-ROM drive

[Greg O]

I've got two SME boxes here, both exhibiting the same behaviour. I go to console, su, then:
mount /mnt/cdrom

And get the following error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
       or too many mounted file systems


The relevant entry in /etc/fstab is as per default at installation:
/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0

What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,
Greg.

I was getting the same thing. Maybe it's related to ide-scsi?? Do you have any scsi devices installed?

[Greg O]

Nope, I don't have any SCSI devices on either machine. I also don't have a SCSI controller on either machine.

Erk! I've committed a cardinal sin. When searching the boards the other day, I forgot to switch the search settings for "all dates" - it defaults to the last 30 days.  I did that today, and voila...
