Need help - CDROM can't be mounted
Hi,
i have the german hd version of knoppix.
Runs good, but now after some weeks and after the last "apt-get upgrade" and bluez installation my cdrom doesn't work anymore.
root@Nils:~# mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /mnt/CD
mount: /dev/cdrom ist kein gültiges blockorientiertes Gerät
(english:"is not a valid block device")
Any idea? I don't know what to do ... I hope I haven't to reinstall like in Windows...
Thx for help...

It should be a symlink to your real cdrom dev which is probably /dev/scd0 (but not necessarily). Try mounting the actual device like so:
mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
That is of course presuming that the mount point /cdrom actaully exists. HTH

no ... doesn't work - the same
root@Nils:~# ls -al /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2003-10-19 16:49 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
root@Nils:~# mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom
mount: /dev/scd0 ist kein gültiges blockorientiertes Gerät
... The same error. I don't know what it is.
Is there a possibility to reload the cdrom driver and look for errors? Or do you have an idea?
Thx.

I also suddenly got the same problem. My solution was to change /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab. I don't know why it used to work before on my HD install...
