Hmm. Try (as root) mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /cdrom
On my most recent hdinstall i right clicked on the kde deskopt, clicked "Create New CD Rom/DVD Device, then right clicked the icon, selected properties, then chose the location of the drive from the drop down menu. Whenever I click on the icon it automounts.

Mount CDrom
I think you must have the directory made before trying to mount a device to it. To do a manual Mount you must create a directory in /mnt folder.
Say you create directory called `cdrom` like in /mnt/cdrom then do a command `mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom`
Or you can make a different directory name like `foo` in /mnt then do a command `mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/foo`
If you look in /mnt there should be directories like /mnt/floppy - /mnt/hda1 - /mnt/crdrom etc. If they aren't there then just create them.

I thought about mentioning this, but he said that he tried mounting to /cdrom which should be coppied from the CD. It was in my case at least.

Re: CDROM does not work in knoppix
--You should definitely check ' dmesg |less '. Linux handles cdrom drives a little weird. Also try mounting:
/dev/scd0
/dev/sr0
/dev/hdc or /dev/hdd (if cdrom is on 2nd IDE controller.)
--See what ' cdrecord -scanbus ' has to say, as well. FYI, the mount directory has to exist, but if it's telling you /dev/cdrom is not a valid device you should ' ls -l /dev/cdrom ' and see what it is.
