The cdroms are in debian under / and not /mnt. Looks like the desktop icons are still faulty, so you might as well delete them or change them later. Then do:

dmesg|grep cd
dmesg|grep sr
dmesg|grep scd

.. to find out the device name. For me they are:
/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto,uid=markus,gid=mar kus 0 0
/dev/sr1 /cdrom1 iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto,uid=markus,gid=mar kus 0 0
You don't have to have uid and gid.
After you have the right devices in fstab create new desktop icons, or change the old ones to the new devices.

oki I know what the CD would be but whats SR and SCD?

They're the actual devicenames under which your cd-drives are connected, just have to find out which ones so you'll have to run the commands to see.

drezliok@tuxeater:~$ dmesg|grep cd
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
drezliok@tuxeater:~$ dmesg|grep sr
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
drezliok@tuxeater:~$ dmesg|grep scd
drezliok@tuxeater:~$

My system is "tuxeater" because it's windows portion is called Orca.

The dmesg|grep scd did nothing as you see by the info.

Try changing this:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /cdrom1 iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
to this:
/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/sr1 /cdrom1 iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0

BTW, the line for your floppy is ok, so you'll just have to recreate/change the desktop icon.
Also type groups as user to see if you're in the cdrom group.
Then do:

cd /dev
ll cdrom cdrom1 sr0 sr1

To see if the group is cdrom, owner can be root

I noticed in the fstab that there are to remarks for cd-rom1, is that normal?

[Drezliok]

root@tuxeater:~# cd /dev
root@tuxeater:/dev# ll cdrom cdrom1 sr0 sr1
ls: cdrom: No such file or directory
ls: cdrom1: No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Jul  8 22:39 sr0 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Jul  8 22:39 sr1 -> scd1
root@tuxeater:/dev#

tested sr0 and sr1cd-roms works but pops a error,

mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

being that CD-roms are read only is there a way I can be rid of that error?

Anyways to have it unmount automaticly when the media is removed? This includes Floppy.

No it's not normal, but unless you edited them away, I don't see them. This is what I think you should have:

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/sr1 /cdrom1 iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/dvd /dvd iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdaudio /cdaudio iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/auto/cdrom1 auto users,noauto,exec,ro 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0
# Added by KNOPPIX
/dev/hdb2 none swap defaults 0 0

Then do:

ln -s /dev/sr1 /dev/dvd
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdaudio
chgrp cdrom /dev/dvd /dev/cdaudio /dev/sr0 /dev/sr1 /dev/scd0 /dev/scd1

I'm assuming here that you have a dvd-cdburner combo drive.

I don't get it, there's a ro in fstab. How did you try to mount it?

Haven't tried as I kind of like doing things manually. You only have to right click the desktop icon and choose unmount or do: umount /cdrom or umount /floppy. Without automating things you know that you don't pop your floppy out before writing/reading is done.

[Drezliok]

no DVD-burner and the so called Cd-burner doesn't burn in linux anyways, I've tried in Fedora core 1 and 2, mandrake9.1, 9.2, 10.0CE, 10.0OE. no worries though, I still have XP.
edit: Knoppix 3.3 and 3.4 too.

New icons on the desktop in KDE, should I do it in the konsole instead?
