Dear all, I installed a fedora FC2.B from DVD. After installation, it is impossible to mount an amovible device (CD, DVD, usb camera). When I try to mount a DVD (from KDE or gnome), I get ... n'est pas un périphérique valide de type bloc (not a valid block device...) After some googling I tried: "dmesg | grep hd" which gave Kernel command line : no root=LABEL /hdc=ide-scsi rhgb hdc slimtype COMBO LSC-24082, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive So I tried "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom", result: /dev/hdc n'est pas un périphérique valide de type bloc In fstab, there is /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom cdf, iso 9660 noauto, owner, kudzu, ro 00 kudzu detects (from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf): CDROM desc slimtype COMBO LSC-24082K bus SCSI device scd0 driver ignore host 0 channel 0 lun 0 generic sg0 So I tried "mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom" result ... "/dev/scd0 n'est pas un périphérique valide de type bloc" Let see the modules : "/sbin/lsmod" gave (at least): scsi-mod uhci-hcd I also tried "eject /dev/sr0",It doesn't eject anything I have also been told to try "cd /dev" and "./MAKEDEV". I get a message regarding the correct way to use MAKEDEV ... The config: laptop PCTeck dual boot XP/fedora FC2.B (kernel 2.6.6) chipset VIA, CPU nehemia 1GHz, GPU VIA CLE266 DVD/CDRW slimtype COMBO LSC-24082K Any advice? *A simple way to fix the stuff *Reinstalling FC1 + upgrading everything but Kernel 2.4? *Back to FC1? (It works) *Waiting FC3? Thank you PS No sound too. -- http://www.bioinformatics.org/dip4fish
