...some news...
The units is dvd/cd/rw, and there is a /dev/dvd, but not a /dev/cdrom...
Any clue?
Thanks in advance.

I have knoppix 3.4 (booting from hd). I cannot mount the cd.
When booting, knoppix tell me:
...
mount: fs type deves not supported by kernel
unmount: devfs: not mounted
...
On fstab:
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass

I have the icon on KDE, but does not show mount option like for the hd.
I try to put a cd, but nothing happen...
If I click on the icon, knoppix says me: file:/mnt/cdrom does not exist.
In /mnt I found cdrom as unknow link, I try to delete it, but nothing happen...
I try to mount by hand, but nothing happen
...any clue? I don't have any idea about what to do! Help!
Thank you!

Can you post here the "append" line from /etc/lilo.conf and the output of:
dmesg |grep cd
dmesg |grep sr
dmesg |grep scd
dmesg |grep hdc
There are a lot of recent posts about the same subject, you could do a search or at least have a look at:

Hi Markus,
thanks a lot for the suggestion... In another topic I found the solution:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom
...this work. But if I try to use /mnt/cdrom, the computer replies:
mount: mount point /mnt/cdrom is a symbolic link to nowhere
How can I do?
Now, the next problem is to discover how to have my cdrom desktop link working in an automatic way...
Bye!

/mnt/cdrom probably points to /mnt/auto/cdrom or some such, you can check with ls -la /mnt/cdrom . Since Debian has the mountpoint in / it's is supposed to be /cdrom.
If /dev/sr0 works for the cdrom you can change it's line in /etc/fstab to:
/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto 0 0
Then you should be able to mount it with the command mount /cdrom
The desktop icon is faulty. Right-click on it and change the device to /dev/sr0 and mountpoint to /cdrom.
EDIT: I forgot before. If you only have one hd post the output of dmesg|grep hdb instead of hdc. Still you could post the "append" line from /etc/lilo.conf
Hi, Markus,
here some useful information (I hope):
$ dmesg|grep cd
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

$ ls -la /mnt/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 15 14:31 /mnt/cdrom -> /mnt/auto/cdrom
I try to change the symbolic link from /mnt/cdrom to /cdrom, but after rebooting the icon point again to /mnt/cdrom. I didn't find the way to change /dev/cdrom to /dev/sr0.
If I mount the cd by hand, all is working (I also try to burn a CD, and it works).
Thank you and bye,
Alberto
try
rm -f /dev/cdrom
ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/sr0 #this may be flipped , commands are rusty
mount /cdrom
if it says /mnt/cdrom does not exist...cant u just make it? mkdir /mnt/cdrom and modify fstab
Have a look in ~/.kde/Autostart and look for a sorticons file or some such. If you find one, delete it.I try to change the symbolic link from /mnt/cdrom to /cdrom, but after rebooting the icon point again to /mnt/cdrom. I didn't find the way to change /dev/cdrom to /dev/sr0.
You have some options here. You can either modify fstab to point to the right device, or make a symlink.
With symlinking you can either do ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom or ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom
sr0 is for SCSI emulation in case you use the 2.4 kernel which would need a hdb=ide-scsi or hdb=scsi in the append line in lilo.conf, hdb is for use with the 2.6 kernel.
Changing fstab would mean (see above which to use):
/dev/sr0 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto 0 0
If you symlink you can leave it at: /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto 0 0
If all this is confusing and you use 2.6.x kernel and can't make up your mind ;
Change fstab to /dev/hdb /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto 0 0
...I was on holiday, so I cannot answer before, sorry...
Anyway, I want just to thank you, because I follow your suggestion, and now the CD icon works properly.
Thank you!
Alberto
Um... I'm having the same problem. Which of the solutions was the one that worked?
