First of all, you have to insert a cd into the drive. It has to be a data-cd, no audio-cd.
Did you do that?
Just install Knoppix 3.4 and everything works except the CDROM.
Here is my current fstab
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.

Here is grep CD

What do I have to edit to mount the CDROM?

Hi Ed!
I had the very same problem (1 IDE CDRW + 1 IDE DVDRW insalled but not mounted) and here is my workaround (I think this has to do with the drives beeing treated as SCSI drives or so):
I changed the following lines:
toOriginally Posted by NewbieEd
/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec 0 0
/dev/sr1 /dvd iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec 0 0
Note: The modified part is written in bold letters and I deleted the "noauto". As the IDE drives are treaded as SCSI drives (true?) the correct /dev/ is not "cdrom" or "dvd" but "sr0" and "sr1" (and so forth if you have more drives).
At least this fix works like a charm for me![]()
BTW: Before changing your fstab you may want to try to mount them manually with these parameters.

i would edit the links /dvd and /dev/cdrom to point to those, it will reduce the work needed to get audio, films... going (xmms, mplayer, xine... are mostly pointed to /dev/cdrom, dvd...), for you Linuxshark it would be.
the devices may vary but.Code:sudo su ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/sr1 /dev/dvd exit
will give more infoCode:dmesg|grep sr
oh and /etc/fstab can be as you had it, as (u)mount /cdrom is enough to mount/unmount
