Title: Can't Mount CD-ROM
Post by: Dan Williams on May 12, 2003, 11:53:28 PM

Hello,
SME 5.6 W/Escalade 7000 controler.
Fresh install no problem.
Using dmesg |less I can see my sony ide cdrom is hdc (secondary channel master)

Using mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom and
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom I get
Input output error / you must specidy the file system type.

Using mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom I get
You must specify the file system type.

I can not figure this out, I have never had a problem doing mount this way, yes there are cd in the drive, even tried differnet cd's.

Any ideas?
Dan

Why not try mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom ?

Hi,
I then get:
wronf fs type, bad option bad superblock on /dev/hdc or to many mounted filesystems.
(could this be the ide device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

However,
I just tried:
try mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom and that worked.
Very strange, as it is ide not scsi.

Very odd as well?  I've not seen that behavior before, but I'm glad you were able to get it mounted.

I got it.
After applying update 4 to my clean 5.6 install it now works as intended.
