Hi,
first of all, I've been fiddling with Linux in the past, but it was never intense enough to solve this myself.
After installing Knoppix 6.0.1 on a zip-drive, I could at first access all partitions on my HD, where WinXP, as well as all my files are located. Then I decided to use the automatic Installation of the flashplayer and other components.
Suddenly after reboot I wasn't able to mount the partitions of the HD. All the time I get this message: "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure" and "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure" and (in German): "the folder does not exist".
What I have found out myself is that there are entries in the /etc/fstab for these partitions:
# DEFAULT BASE FSTAB, UNCONFIGURED
proc /proc proc noauto 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/sda1 /media/sda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,shortname=winnt,uid=kn oppix,gid=knoppix 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ntfs noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/sda5 /media/sda5 ntfs noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,shortname=winnt,uid=kn oppix,gid=knoppix 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/sr0 /media/sr0 auto ro,noauto,users,exec 0 0
but all the folders in /media are all missing except for /dev/sr0
As user "knoppix" I'm not allowed to create these folders, only when I make myself "root" I can.
Also even when these folders are created, only "root" can mount the partitions.
And after a reboot, the folders are gone.
I thought on knoppix the user "knoppix" would have all rights of "root".
Since the folders are missing, it's clear to me that I can't mount the HD partitions.
Shouldn't these folders be created automaticly?
I hope someone can make some sense of it. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Markus
