OK, I'm some what new to Linux but seem to have a problem on my second system with Fedora. It was a clean install, but sharing disk space with the dark side. Motherboard: Abit IC7-MAX3 Kernel-smp#2.6.1-1.126 (but the core 1 2.4 didn't work either) My fstab has: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb /web vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 When I run Hardware Browser (hwbrowser) it reports: CD-ROM Drives Plextor CD-R PX-W1210A Manufacturer: PLEXTOR Driver: none or built-in Device: /dev/hdc However when I manually try to mount ... [root@localhost root]# mount cdrom mount: can't find cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [root@localhost root]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device [root@localhost root]# mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device Any suggestions where to look and what to try? Oh and yes, the /mnt/cdrom directory exists. Damn annoying since the system booted and loaded from the CD in the first place. Paul
