Topic: Problem Mounting CDROM after upgrade

[Bob King]

I installed SME 5.6 and then did
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
then installed U4 from a cd
cd /mnt/cdrom
rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs *.rpm
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot
after the reboot I tried to mount the cdrom drive again to install some additional RPMs but all I get is the following error message
"/dev/cdrom is not a block device"

any help greatly appreciated

I guess Mitel hasn't corrected this problem this since U2.

Ran into a similar problem. When you do the upgrade 4, the cd-rom gets a symbolic link to scd0, you need to manually re-assing it to hd(which ever letter your cd is) use ln -fs hdc(or whatever) cdrom

That should take care of it

Thanks Bob,

I managed to find it after a bit of playing around with the "search"
