I did a fresh install of FC3 yesterday and it seemed to load up and do everything okay until I came to put a cd into the caddy. To my surprise it spun up okay, but it wasn't auto-mounted and neither could I manually mount it. I looked in fstab and found the following lines at the end of my fstab file;- ------------------------- /dev/hdh /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdg /media/cdrecorder1 auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 -------NB they HAVE wrapped------------- It seems atm that I can't read =any= cd or dvd from the relevant caddies! How can I get them back and working properly please? Sharon. -- 16:12:59 up 5:04, 1 user, load average: 1.03, 1.29, 1.34 Linux is like a wigwam, no windows, no gates, apache inside.
