i had a huge formatting disaster and have reinstalled slack and red hat. i can mount cds in red hat but not in slack. the zip drive mounts fine but not the cd drive.
- Code: Select all
bash-2.05b$ mount /mnt/cdrom/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda4 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 /mnt/redhat ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda8 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
#/dev/hda7 /mnt/debian reiserfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hda1 /C vfat defaults,umask=0 1 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults,noauto,users,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users,rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip auto defaults,users,rw 0 0
and here's what my grub.conf looks like, in case it's relevant:
- Code: Select all
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,4)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
# initrd /boot/initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=40
splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux 8 (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=/dev/hda5 hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-14.img
title Slackware Linux 8
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=/dev/hda6 hdc=ide-scsi
title MS-Winsux
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
#title Knoppix 3
# rootnoverify (hd0,6)
# chainloader +1
any ideas?
i am stumped!
thanks in advance et cetera.
