Trouble with fstab after hdinstall

After hdinstall my floppy and dvd and cdburner devices no longer work. I am going to post some info here. I will also try to find my own solution using http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6945

For the fstab:

Code:

---

# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
 #
 # filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
 /dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
 /dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0
 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
 /dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
/dev/scd0 /dvd iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
 /dev/scd1 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
 # partitions found by Knoppix
 #/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix 0 0

 # Added by KNOPPIX
 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppix 0 0

---

Then rm /dev/dvd, rm /dev/cdrom to remove the bad symbolic links next ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/dvd and ln -s /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom the correct links to the devices. Haven't a clue about the floppy unless you are talking the shortcut on the desktop if this is the case then the device is wrong in the device tab it is using /mnt/floppy and it should be just /floppy you should delete the old icon and create a new one by right clicking on the desktop.

[edit]
You may want this in the /etc/fstab as well for usb devices.

Code:

---

none            /proc/bus/usb  usbdevfs  defaults            0      0

---

[/edit]

Below is my /etc/fstab. I seem to have done something wrong!:



# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem mountpoint type options dump pass
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0

/dev/scd1 /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
# partitions found by Knoppix

/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 vfat noauto,users,exec,umask=000,uid=knoppix,gid=knoppi x 0 0

none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0


When I try to mount devices I get:

pjharper@reno:~$ mount /dev/cdrom
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: can't find /dev/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
pjharper@reno:~$ mount /dvd
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
or too many mounted file systems
pjharper@reno:~$ mount /floppy
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
pjharper@reno:~$

Finally (Separate Issue) when I right click in KDE I lose my mouse.

Thanks Stephen for your reply. You are really patient with Newbies!

You should be root when trying to mount the devices and you should use something like this mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom when you mount you issue the command (mount) to mount the device (/dev/cdrom) at a mount point (/cdrom) and should usually be the mount point you specified in the /etc/fstab for the device, then you use the mount point if you want to see the contents (ls -l /cdrom). You should not be getting the "no final newline" warning how did you edit the /etc/fstab file? And did you create the proper links for the devices? That mouse thing looks real strange what kind is it and can you post the Section(s) "InputDevices" for the mouse in the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4?

My freind gave me knoppix 3.3 which solved the mouse problem mentioned earlier. I used knoppix installer. This still made it so my floppy and cdroms do not work. this is the current fstab as done by knoppix during installl:

You may want to go back to the old fstab and use some of Kano's scripts I was looking at last night I used a few on my test machine they worked well, it has one there to fix the CD and floppy problem other ones you may want to run are in the remove the services, startup-services, wine and games in the fix you want the cdrom, fonts, include-glibc, include-linux, motd, time and usb. Download the scripts to their own directory then when you change to the directory and use chmod +x * and run them with ./name_of_scrip.sh. You should probably login to the console and run the scripts from there as root and then /etc/init.d/kdm restart to restart the xserver and get a new kde login.

Hello again. Did a reinstall because I was screwing too many things up! Found out from some nice person on irc #knoppix about KDiskFree. I can mount my devices using KDiskFree.

Tried burning a CD. Got this output.

Good news is I can copy cd's at the command line. I will tackle k3b in the morning. Thanks to Stephen and tech2k and others on irc #knoppix

had the same problems, see my post on the general side. the answer came in the most unusual way- while trying to check on xine. do a xine-check at the cmd line the answers will show the linkage of the cdrom, though not the floppy but it might give u a clue. good luck.
